A film major at the University of Texas at Austin, Wagner began Hepcats as a comic strip in the college newspaper in 1987. Starting in 1989, he self-published it as a black and white comic book series. Although the series received critical praise, the combination of poor sales, Wagner's lack of business experience, and his divorce in 1991 contributed to financial difficulties. His production schedule became increasingly protracted and he ceased publishing the series altogether following issue #12 in 1994. In 1996 he made a deal with Antarctic Press to republish the existing material, to be followed by new issues, but the only new material published was a special "#0" color issue.
