It was a running joke in Escape from New York that almost everyone Snake Plissken ran into thought he was dead. Escape from New York was released in 1981 and although it was a fan favorite, it wasn't a block buster.
Everyone pretty much thought that was it for Snake... that he was dead.
Then 15 years later, Escape from LA was released. It also developed a cult following, but wasn't a block buster.
Everyone pretty much thought that was it for Snake... that he was dead.
In 2002 CrossGen published the first two issues of John Carpenter's Snake Plissken Chronicles. CrossGen then folded... but Snake wasn't dead. Hurricane Entertainment published the last two issues.

Alias Comics and Hurricane Entertainment are teaming to bring back John Carpenter's Snake Plissken Chronicles this November when a collection of the original four-issue miniseries
will be published.
Movie and comic fans will love this news since the original mini-series sold "strong from start to finish." For most comic art fans, the cover alone will be worth the price of admission since
it'll be by Drew Struzan [and as an added treat don't forget that Tone Rodriguez provided the pencils for the series].
Snake Plissken is my favorite John Carpenter character and translates easily to comics. Who knows, maybe if this collection sells well, we'll see more of Snake's adventures.
Anyone here think that Snake Plissken is dead?
