The ’80s gave us many things, but that decade did not give us the ultimate John Carpenter crossover in which Kurt Russell’s Jack Burton teamed up with Russell’s Snake Plissken to bring some Big Trouble to New York! Fortunately, we live in 2016, and Boom! Studios has made this incredible dream a reality!
Writer Greg Pak (Incredible Hulk) and artist Daniel Bayliss are teaming up to thrust Ol’ Jack Burton into the dystopian future of 1997 in Big Trouble In Little China/Escape From New York, a six-issue miniseries that has all of the mayhem and insanity of a Carpenter film without any budget limitations! Anything that Pak can dream up, Bayliss can make a reality!
CraveOnline is proud to exclusively unveil artist Oliver Barrett’s movie incentive cover for Big Trouble In Little China/Escape From New York # 1, which looks like the cinematic meeting of the titans that we’ve been waiting three decades for!
