THE BLUES BROTHERS: THE ESCAPE OF JOLIET JAKE (PREVIEW)

To celebrate the 45th anniversary of the musical comedy, 'The Blues Brothers', starring John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, Z2 Comics is planning to release a new hardcover graphic novel, 'The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake'.





Set almost two decades after the events depicted in the original film, this new adventure begins with Jake Blues mysteriously breaking out of jail - without his brother, Elwood - prompting Chicago's law enforcement to track him down and lock him up once again. But can they do this? Can they find him and drag him back in one piece? Well, it's possible, with some help from a strange duo consisting of Robert, an up-and-coming detective, and Wolfie, an orphan from the Blues Brothers' alma mater, St. Helen's of the Blessed Shroud. Together, these two slowly unravel a web of mysteries tied to the brothers' adventures that has never been revealed before. Want to know more? Then please check out the following preview I was kindly allowed to share. Enjoy.

'The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake' is a 112-page hardcover graphic novel from Z2 Comics. It was illustrated by Felipe Sobreiro, an artist from Brazil, and co-written by three different people: James Werner, a writer, filmmaker, and actor from Los Angeles; Luke Pisano, the son of John Belushi's widow, Judy Belushi Pisano; and Stella Aykroyd, Dan Aykroyd's daughter. The graphic novel is set for release on October 7, 2025, and comes with a foreword penned by Dan Aykroyd. For further information, please feel free to check out the official Z2 Comics website.
