About the series
This 2004 Image Comics one-shot reimagines the legendary escape artist as a secret agent, blending historical fantasy with pulp adventure. Writer Brian Haberlin and artist Gilbert Monsanto craft a standalone tale that posits Houdini’s death-defying stunts as cover for a much larger, stranger mission. It’s a brisk, imaginative what-if that treats its iconic subject with a mix of reverence and playful conspiracy.
