Ep: 69 Into the Sweetest Darkness: Doug Wagner

Today, on Back To Pop we dive into the pages of comics, with acclaimed writer Doug Wagner
Doug Wagner writes serial killers in love, cannibal furries, fashion designers with a taste for human flesh, and Viking curses — and somehow, every single one lands with genuine heart. This week, Marc sits down with the creator of Plastic, Vinyl, Plush, I Was a Fashion School Serial Killer, and the upcoming Narco to find out how he makes the darkest material feel weirdly, disarmingly human.
They dig into Wagner’s long road in — seven years, 200+ rejection letters, a brief window at Malibu Comics that collapsed just two months after he was hired, and nine more years clawing back from that. They talk about the anthology crime roots that built his storytelling instincts, his creative partnership with artist Daniel Hillyard, and the tonal tightrope he walks in every book: horror, comedy, and sincerity, all at once.
Plus: the Hitchcock influences behind Narco, why his protagonists always feel like outsiders reaching for something just out of grasp, and what that kid who learned to read through comics would think of what he’s built.
Start with Plastic. Then spiral in beautifully from there.
