Catalogue note
Original first-print Cover A of Narco #1, the March 2026 Image Comics miniseries premiere by writer Doug Wagner and artist Daniel Hillyard. The Hitchcock-inflected horror/thriller follows homebound Marcus Wesphal, whose excitement-triggered narcoleptic blackouts make him both witness to a murder and suspect number one. This copy preserves the initial Daniel Hillyard/Dave Stewart Cover A state in a Collect Forever Soft Slab before the issue's rapid second- and third-print bibliographic branches.
Why this object matters
Narco’s Hillyard/Stewart principal cover and Wagner collaboration document a distinctive contemporary thriller launch. Multiple printings distinguish editions and reception, but the first printing is not thereby a major historical object. A meaningful 7.2 better fits the evidence.
Evidence limits: Complete under standing TMR accession rule. Physical comic is enclosed in a Collect Forever Soft Slab; no missing issued component is reported.
