Former GTA Boss’ American Caper Comic Book Is Now Available To Preorder

Rockstar Games co-founder Dan Houser isn’t just preparing to launch a new book–titled A Better Paradise Volume One: An Aftermath–but also a new comic book series called American Caper. The first issue launches on November 12, and it follows a Mormon hitman, a gambling lawyer, and a Mexican beauty queen as their fates become tangled together after a real estate deal goes wrong. If you’re interested in reading the first issue, Amazon is offering the Kindle version of it for $5.74.

“I love doing crime comedy and having done lots of stories about carjackers, or people that have to be tough, living in this moment right now.

America, particularly the rural west, in this moment right now is something I found interesting, and thought was an interesting place to set a dark comedy.”

Houser’s other project, A Better Paradise, will be released on October 14, and the novel will also be available in ebook and audiobook formats. This book is adapted from an audio fiction series that aired in 2024, and it’s set in the near future at a video game company.

A decade later, development on the project resumes.
