American Caper Volume 1: Red-Pilled Blues

A new crime-fiction saga created and written by Rockstar Games co-founder DAN HOUSER (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption) with additional writing by LAZLOW, with art by Eisner Award-winner DAVID LAPHAM (Stray Bullets).

A Mormon hitman.  A gambling-addict lawyer. Two neighbors intertwined in a real estate deal gone wrong. Mix in a Mexican beauty queen on the run from her past, a red-pilled housewife, two escaped convicts in love, a Wall Street billionaire who has become a cowboy, and a maniac hell-bent on revenge. The manicured wilderness of Verona, Wyoming is the perfect cocktail of American culture: real estate development, violence and snake oil.

From the tax-avoiders in the Rockies, to the thought police of liberal Brooklyn, to the confused political and environmental battlegrounds of Florida, one thing is certain: This tragedy is someone else’s fault.  

AMERICAN CAPER: RED-PILLED BLUES collects the first four issues of the new crime-fiction saga and is created and written by Rockstar Games co-founder DAN HOUSER (Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption) with additional writing by LAZLOW, art by Eisner Award-winner DAVID LAPHAM (Stray Bullets) and CHRIS ANDERSON with covers by TYLER BOSS (4 Kids Walk into a Bank).
