The Return of the Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake
Book Releases | Oct 7, 2025
The Blues Brothers universe returns with the original graphic novel The Return of the Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake. Written by Stella Aykroyd, Luke Pisano and James Werner with artist Felipe Sobriero, The Blues Brothers: The Escape of Joliet Jake is both a love letter and sequel to the original Blues Brothers film. With editorial oversight by Dan Aykroyd, the utmost care has been taken to ensure this new chapter is true to the classic skits, legendary film and iconic albums. The result is a wild ride for both longtime fans and those new to the world of Jake and Elwood Blues.
This project was originally conceived with the architect of The Blues Brothers, Judy Belushi Pisano, who sadly passed away during the book’s production.
