In a future where driving has been outlawed by a robotic transportation grid, an outlaw named Clutch takes the wheel one last time to save his granddaughter, sparking a rebellion against technology and fascism along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAshcans are miniature, low-print promotional editions distributed ahead of a series launch to build advance buzz among retailers and collectors — scarce by design, not by chance. Image Comics is distributing this ashcan through limited convention channels, including SDCC 2026, keeping print runs tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Last Driver #1 (of 5) releases August 19, 2026, with variant covers by Murphy, Corin Howell, Matteo Scalera, and Ryan Ottley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it matters for collectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Murphy is a proven commercial force — his prior creator-owned work (Tokyo Ghost, Punk Rock Jesus) and Batman: White Knight line have strong secondary-market track records. Ashcans tied to a big-name creator's first new ongoing in a decade carry real long-term hold potential; first-run Image promos from major launches are the kind of thing that still trade well years later.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Image Comics","offers":[{"title":"Last Driver #1 Ashcan Promo","offer_id":43671225598042,"sku":"0326IM8191","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/3359\/4458\/files\/440AB2C3-2A43-4CC0-B7BF-B075CEB53013.jpg?v=1784326168","url":"https:\/\/epic-panels-comics.com\/es\/products\/last-driver-1-ashcan-promo","provider":"Epic Panels Comics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
