About this ebook

In this action-adventure graphic novel, Harry Houdini, master magician and spy, has been kidnapped, and only his estranged—and gifted—son can save him.

Josef Houdini takes after his father: A gifted escape artist, there’s not a jam he can’t get himself out of. Then again, when your father is one of the greatest illusionists of all time, that comes as no surprise. What does come as a surprise is the fact that Harry Houdini is not only the world’s greatest magician, but also a top-secret operative for the U.S. government during World War I. In rare form he finds himself trapped—stuck on a mission he is unable to escape from. That’s why the government needs his son to fill his shoes and complete the mission—but does Josef have the wherewithal to do it? Or is the possibility of success just an illusion?

Packed with intrigue, suspense, and fantasy, After Houdini is a revisionist look at one of history’s most mysterious figures that is sure to take readers on a journey they’ll never forget.

After Houdini is a thrilling and imaginative journey into the world of magic. Holt’s love for the craft is clear: After Houdini is teeming with colorful characters and their illusions from the pages of magic history—a joy for any magic lover!” —David Kwong, magician and New York Times crossword constructor
