New Image Comics Hitchcockian Comedy Thriller ‘Narco’ From Doug Wagner And Daniel Hillyard Announced

The diabolical duo of writer Doug Wagner and artist Daniel Hillyard — y’know, the unhinged creative team behind serial killer thrillers Plastic, Plush, Vinyl, and I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer — are bringing you a new comic book thriller, Narco. A five-issue miniseries launching in March 2026 from Image Comics. And here’s the lowdown:

“Marcus Wesphal blacks out from the slightest surge of excitement—a narcoleptic curse that’s kept him quiet, calm, and locked away at home. But when he witnesses the girl next door’s murder and collapses, he wakes to find himself the prime suspect. Now Marcus has one chance to clear his name: outrun his failing body, reconstruct the moments he lost, and hunt a killer before he blacks out again… possibly for good.”

Speaking of this Hitchcockian homage, Wagner stated:

“If you haven’t figured it out yet, Daniel and I are a little bit obsessed with quirky horror, AND we’re both huge fans of Alfred Hitchcock,” said Wagner. “We’ve been talking for years about what OUR version of his works would look like. Well, Narco is that version. It combines our weird sense of horror and humor with classics like Rear Window and Psycho.”

Hillyard added:

“A Hitchcockian thriller with a whodunnit story and our usual twist of the unusual. If any of that piqued your interest then Narco might just be the one for you. Grab a pop tart, pet your possum (not a euphemism) and see if you can figure out who the killer is.”
