A man who suffers from narcolepsy witnesses a murder and becomes the prime suspect in the new Image series Narco. The book reteams writer Doug Wagner and artist Daniel Hillyard, the duo behind Plastic, Plush, Vinyl and I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer. The five-issue miniseries begins in March 2026.

When Marcus Wesphal experiences sudden excitement, he blacks out, causing him to live a life of calm solitude shut up in his house. His tranquility is disrupted when he sees his neighbor murdered and collapses from the surprise. Marcus suffers a rude awakening when he regains consciousness to learn that he is the primary suspect. Desperate to clear his name, Marcus must battle his narcolepsy, figure out what happened when he passed out, and find the real killer.

“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,” Wagner said. “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.”

“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,” Hillyard said.

Narco #1 features a main cover by Hillyard, a Hitchcock homage cover by Hillyard, and a blank sketch cover. The first issue will be in comic shops on March 4, 2026.
