Image Firsts: Morning Glories

Nick Spencer and Joe Eisma launched Morning Glories with this Image Comics debut issue, a dense, puzzle-box mystery set at a sinister prep school where six brilliant but troubled new students find themselves trapped in a bizarre, often dangerous institution. The series quickly became known for its intricate, Lost-style plotting and its mix of teen drama, psychological horror, and cryptic, slow-burn mythology. This first issue—reprinted here as an Image Firsts sampler—introduces the core cast and the unsettling atmosphere that would define the entire run.
