NARCO #1 (OF 5)

Narco #1 (OF 5) launches a taut new miniseries written by Doug Wagner and illustrated by Daniel Hillyard, with cover art by Hillyard and Dave Stewart. Marcus Wesphal endures a rare narcolepsy that makes him collapse whenever he gets excited, forcing a sheltered, homebound life and a quiet crush on the girl next door. When he witnesses her murder and blacks out, he becomes the prime suspect and must step outside to pursue a killer. The issue introduces a high-stakes chase driven by a troubled, empathetic protagonist and a moody, cinematic visual style that nods to classic thrillers. The title features multiple covers—A by Hillyard & Stewart, B Hitchcock homage, and C blank sketch—offering distinct visual takes while keeping the story’s tense, character-focused core intact as it unfolds across the five-issue arc.
