Gregory Suicide #1

Gregory Suicide #1, published by Dark Horse Comics in 2008, serves as the debut of a miniseries written by Eric Wight. The story emerged during a period when Dark Horse was actively expanding its roster of creator-owned projects, blending elements of noir-inspired detective fiction with a futuristic, speculative narrative. Wight, who is well-regarded for his distinctive illustrative style, developed the book as a gritty, character-driven journey centered on a protagonist navigating a complex, dystopian reality.

The aesthetic of the series is heavily influenced by vintage pulp sensibilities reimagined through a dark, modern lens. Wight’s illustration work on this title was noted for its moody atmosphere and expressive character designs, which helped establish the book’s specific tonal identity. Upon its release, the first issue was received as a stylistic showcase for Wight’s transition from his background in animation and children's literature into more mature, somber graphic storytelling.
