PORTLAND, Ore. 04/15/2026 — The Eisner Award winning cyberpunk sensation The Private Eye, by critically acclaimed co-creators Brian K. Vaughan (Saga, Pride of Baghdad, Spectators) and artist Marcos Martín (Friday, Barrier), is available now from Image Comics in a gorgeous paperback edition.
Set in an inevitable future of where everyone has a secret identity, The Private Eye is an eerily prescient sci-fi mystery about an unlicensed private investigator who stumbles onto the most important case of his life.
The series is set in 2076, a time after “the cloud has burst,” a massive data breach that doxed identities and leaked society’s deepest secrets. As a result, people have abandoned the Internet in favor of excessively guarded lives hidden behind masks and curated identities. All efforts in a desperate attempt to retain some semblance of privacy in a world where relative anonymity has become the greatest of luxuries.
The Private Eye envisions a dark future shaped by mounting fears of AI-driven truth manipulation, the fallout of influencer and cancel culture, eroding trust in data security and decentralized tech, and the spread of pervasive surveillance.
The Private Eye trade paperback (ISBN: 9781534331648, Lunar Code 1025IM0462) will be available now at local comic book shops, independent bookstores, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Indigo, and Waterstones.
