PLASTIC CREATORS RETEAM FOR CAMPY NEW HORROR MINISERIES I WAS A FASHION SCHOOL SERIAL KILLER THIS APRIL

PORTLAND, Ore. 01/21/2025 — The fan-favorite creative team behind Plastic, Plush, and Vinyl—Doug Wagner & Daniel Hillyard—will reteam for an all-new, campy horror story in the upcoming I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer. This five-issue miniseries is set to launch in April from Image Comics.

“This may be the craziest, most quirky serial killer book Daniel and I have done yet,” said Wagner. “We had the time of our lives working on this one. During our calls, there was way too much of drinks shooting out noses and asking, ‘Can we get away with that?’ We tend to think of those as signs that we’re on the right path.”

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!

Hillyard added: “Sewing together serial killer horror and college drama felt so right—like slipping into a warm blood bath.”

I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer #1will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, April 2:

  • Cover A by Hillyard
  • Cover B by Hillyard & Michelle Madsen
  • Cover C by Jae Lee

I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
