Creator-writer Dan Houser on the themes of American Caper, the new crime-fiction comic book saga debuting this November.

Small town, suburban, successful people… A lawyer and a property developer who have made terrible mistakes – and their lives go very awry…

A typical Wyoming transplant. A Wall Street billionaire who thinks he’s a cowboy. Invests in dubious food and drug research to keep America not so well. 

AMERICAN CAPER Issue #1 in comic shops November 12.

The Hamilton family disappears into separate fantasy worlds of cowboy cosplay, conspiracy, and computer games. The Charmers are questioned by the FBI about the recent murders in Verona and the van full of escaped convicts and smuggled immigrants. Agent Carter Evans tests if his new partner is crooked. Marty parties while breeding bulls. And Freddie interrupts an old friend’s poolside brunch of cocaine and cocktails with a surprise visit.

Dan Houser, the co-founder of Rockstar Games and longtime head writer and creative director of the Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption series, will make his first on-camera interview appearance at Los Angeles Comic Con. Houser will have an in-depth conversation with IGN Senior Executive Editor, Ryan McCaffrey, about the legacy and impact of his past games and a look forward to his newer projects in development at Absurd Ventures.

“I am very honored to take the stage at Absurd Ventures’ home town comic convention, Los Angeles Comic-Con, with IGN Executive Editor Ryan McCaffrey,” Dan Houser said. “I look forward to speaking about all our upcoming, varied projects at Absurd including our two open world video games, the American Caper comic book series, which is my new take on crime fiction storytelling making its first appearance this fall, and the upcoming novel of A Better Paradise — as well as indulging in a trip down memory lane speaking about the characters and worlds of GTA, Red Dead, Bully and other games that I had the privilege to write and direct over the years.”

The panel will take place on the Main Stage on Saturday, September 27th at 12:00 PM! For those who can't make it, IGN.com will be livestreaming the conversation that will also feature an "exclusive glimpse into American Caper."
