About the series
In 1993, DC Comics unleashed Chain Gang War, a gritty twelve-issue series from writer John Wagner that followed a chain gang of prisoners who break free in a dystopian near-future America. With visceral artwork by Dave Johnson, David Johnson, and Federico Cueva, the series explores themes of justice, survival, and societal collapse as the escaped convicts carve a violent path across a fractured country. A stark, high-octane thriller from the era of DC's more mature imprints, it stands as a cult favorite for its unflinching take on the American nightmare.
