THE PLASTIC-VERSE SALE PHENOMENON EXPANDS WITH NARCOTRADE PAPERBACK HITTING SHELVES THIS FALL

PORTLAND, Ore. 08/18/2026 — From the creative duo behind bestselling Plastic-Verse titles—Plastic, Plush, Vinyl, and I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer—comes the absurdist thriller, Narco. Issues #1-5, of this recent standalone story in the interconnected-universe of horror titles by Doug Wagner and Daniel Hillyard will be collected and available in its entirety in trade paperback this Fall from Image Comics.

The Plastic-Verse series have collectively sold over 400K copies worldwide to date and have quickly become fan-favorites among readers drawn to Wagner and Hillyard’s unique blend of dark humor, horror, crime, and surprising emotional depth. This latest entry into their oeuvre, Narco, shares similar DNA and has instantly resonated with the growing fandom.

In Narco, readers meet Marcus Wesphal, a man with a rare form of narcolepsy: when he gets excited, he blacks out. He’s adapted: homebound life and a harmless infatuation with the girl next door. But when he witnesses her murder (and then immediately, annoyingly, passes out) he becomes suspect number one. Now, he must leave his apartment to pursue her killer and clear his name.

The Narco trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534334991) will be available at local comic book shops, on Wednesday, October 7 and independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones on Tuesday, November 3.
