Synopsis "The Private Eye"

"Colorful and relevant..." -Slate

From the creator of the New York Times bestselling series SAGA, comes the three-time, Eisner nominated, PanelSyndicate.com's digital comics sensation THE PRIVATE EYE! Finally, this book is coming to print in a beautiful deluxe hardcover edition!

Set in an inevitable future of where everyone has a secret identity, THE PRIVATE EYE is an eerily prescient sci-fi mystery about an unlicensed private investigator who stumbles onto the most important case of his life.

The series is set in 2076, a time after "the cloud has burst", revealing everyone's secrets. As a result, there is no more Internet, and people are excessively guarded about their identity, to the point of appearing only masked in public.

"Readers and retailers have been begging us for a physical version of this story ever since we first announced our hard-boiled parable about the future of privacy in America, so when the time came, Marcos and I knew that we had to go with Image Comics, the most creator-friendly publisher of print comics ever." -Brian K. Vaughan

Brian K. Vaughan is an acclaimed comic book and television screenwriter, born on July 17, 1976, in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. He began his career in the 1990s writing for major publishers Marvel and DC Comics, but gained prominence with his original works, which combine engaging storytelling, social themes, and complex world-building.

Among his most famous works is Y: The Last Man (2002–2008), a post-apocalyptic series about the last surviving man after a mysterious plague. Another big hit is Saga (since 2012), created with artist Fiona Staples, a science fiction and fantasy epic that has won numerous awards and gained great popularity. He also wrote Paper Girls (2015–2019), which mixes youth adventure with science fiction, and Ex Machina (2004–2010), a political critique set in a universe with superpowers.

In addition to comics, Vaughan has worked as a television screenwriter, including the series Lost. His works often explore themes such as identity, social conflict, and politics, always with well-constructed characters and original scripts. Recognized as one of the leading writers of his generation, Vaughan is an influential figure in contemporary pop culture.
