American Caper #1
Dark Horse Comics / Absurd Ventures
Written by Dan Houser & Laslow
Art by David Lapham, Chris Anderson, & Lee Loughridge
Letters by Nate Piekos
Cover Art by Tyler Boss
A tale of two totally normal, completely damaged families in a world of corrupt businesses, inept local politicians, bungling criminals, and unfortunate leisurewear. We follow the fortunes of two neighbors on the point of collapse: a Mormon hit man and a gambling-addict lawyer, both intertwined in a real-estate deal gone wrong. Mix in a Mexican beauty queen on the run from her past, two escaped convicts in love, a Wall Street billionaire who has become a cowboy, and a maniac hell-bent on revenge. American culture has become a war about real estate, violence, and snake oil.
From the tax avoiders in the manicured wilderness of Wyoming 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.
Release Date: November 12, 2025
PCS NOTES: We have been waiting for this book since we first heard about it at SDCC this year. We had Chris Anderson, one of the artists on the book, on the SquadCast, and we are super excited for people to feast their eyes on this riotous romp of a comic.
