Provenance

Where it came from

Escape was a seminal British comics anthology magazine published by Escape Publishing between 1983 and 1989. Issue number 8, released in 1987, was part of a movement that sought to bridge the gap between traditional mainstream comics and the burgeoning alternative scene. It provided a platform for creators to experiment with more sophisticated narratives and artistic styles, effectively nurturing the talent that would soon define the British Invasion of the American comics industry in the late 1980s.

The issue featured work from pivotal figures in the medium, including Paul Gravett and Peter Stanbury, who co-founded the magazine to spotlight challenging, creator-owned material. The design aesthetic of the era leaned heavily into stark, illustrative storytelling and diverse visual approaches that moved away from the standardized superhero templates of the time. Upon its release, the magazine was widely received by critics and enthusiasts as a vital venue for the avant-garde, helping to elevate comics as a respected form of serious graphic literature.
