Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (sometimes abbreviated as JtHM) is a black-and-white comic book series written and drawn by Jhonen Vasquez. It began as a series of short strips in the goth magazine Carpe Noctem, and was later published in seven issues by Slave Labor Graphics between August 1995 and January 1997. The series later had two spin-offs: Squee!and I Feel Sick.

The series was eventually collected in a trade paperback entitled JTHM: Directors Cut. The series focuses on Johnny C..He is a deranged murderer who elaborately kills anyone who irritates him, then drains their blood and paints over a wall under his house with it to prevent a monster from escaping.

His nickname is Nny (Pronounced "knee"). Johnny is also willing to murder people he perceives as innocent to keep the wall satisfied. The number of Johnny’s victims is in the dozens, if not hundreds.[citation needed] Authorities are unable to capture Johnny and seem unaware of his existence, even though his crimes are often witnessed in public and reported by the few who manage to survive.

Johnny himself speculates on this being the result of interference from outside forces. Johnny is a voluntary insomniac, as he believes sleep robs him of certainty that any of his memories prior to waking are true, and wishes to become devoid of all human emotion.
