‘Missing’ Stories Not in The Escapists #1-6

Two stories that were completed for Dark Horse’s The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist series before it was canceled will not be in this summer’s The Escapists, a Dark Horse spokesman said Tuesday.

Lee Dawson, Dark Horse publicity director, said the first six-issue series of The Escapists will feature just Brian K. Vaughan and Steve Rolston’s story arc. Dawson said an official press announcement about the series will be sent out “soon.”

“I should have more info on the ‘missing’ stories soon as well,” Dawson said via e-mail.

Before it was canceled, The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist #9 was scheduled to include two stories in addition to the on-going “Escapists” stories. Howard Chaykin and artist Jed Dougherty had completed a story featuring a battle between several decades’ incarnations of Luna Moth. Stuart Moore and Phil Winslade had finished a 1970’s story featuring the Escapist and a certain gonzo journalist.

The Escapists hits stores in July.
