PORTLAND, Ore. 04/09/2025 — Readers are bursting at the seams with enthusiasm for the campy new horror series I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer—by fan-favorite Plastic creators writer Doug Wagner and artist Daniel Hillyard—and the debut issue has sold out completely at the distributor level. Image Comics will fast-track the I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer #1 for reprint this week in order to keep up with escalating demand.
“I’m blown away by the response to I Was A Fashion School Serial Killer—huge thanks to everyone who’s joined us on this weird, wild, and murderously stylish journey and making #1 a sell-out,” said Wagner. “We’re beyond thrilled to be heading to a second printing.”
Hillyard added: “Thank you so much to everyone joining us on this mad murderous catwalk! I’m here scratching my head for a different way of saying that I’m blown away, but there is no other way, I am truly blown away! You all rock!!”
In I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer, Rennie Bethary has just been accepted into New York City’s most prestigious fashion school. Her designs are daring, edgy, and singular…and made of human flesh. Did we forget to mention Rennie is a serial killer who simply wants to be a fashion designer instead? Stupid, pesky, murderous urges!
