Rockstar Co-Founder Unveils Thrilling New Edition of Popular Comic Coming in 2026
Dan Houser, co-founder of Rockstar Games, is set to release a new edition of his comic book “American Caper” in 2026. After spending over 20 years at Rockstar, he left the company following the success of “Red Dead Redemption 2,” a game praised for its storytelling and character depth.
New Edition of American Caper Coming in 2026
Houser, who has moved on to lead Absurd Ventures, is now working on several projects, including two new video games and various non-gaming endeavors. His comic, “American Caper,” reflects his distinctive narrative style, featuring both humorous and morally ambiguous characters. The first issue premiered in November and has garnered positive feedback from both Rockstar enthusiasts and comic readers alike.
American Caper Volume 1: Red-Pilled Blues
The upcoming paperback collection, titled “American Caper Volume 1: Red-Pilled Blues,” will compile the first four issues of the comic. This edition is set for release on June 23, 2026, priced at $19.99. Pre-orders are currently available at major retailers like Barnes and Noble and Amazon, as well as local comic book shops.
Release Schedule and Future Issues
For those eager to read the story as it unfolds, the second issue of “American Caper” will be available on Christmas Eve, with new installments releasing monthly thereafter. However, it’s important to note that the fifth issue, due in March, will not be included in the forthcoming paperback. As such, readers who opt for the collected volume may find themselves behind in the storyline.
