The story of a utopian city with architecture that drove its inhabitants mad and the never-sleeping architect who quested tirelessly for a cure, Mister X captivated a generation of comics fans and creators, transforming the landscape of their chosen medium forever. Still as inspiring and compelling as the first time it saw print, the entire run of Mister X written by Dean Motter gets the deluxe treatment in this volume, every page of its groundbreaking artwork painstakingly restored.

Mister X

The Brides of Mister X and Other Stories

2011

After revolutionizing the worlds of design and storytelling in 1984, Dean Motter's Mister X reinvented alternative comics. Radiant City's utopian design and futuristic architecture should have made it the City of Dreams. Instead, a flaw in the city's psychetecture caused an epidemic of insanity among its residents. After years of exile, one of Radiant's original architects, Mister X, is given a chance to redeem himself and the city when he is asked to redesign the skyline in hope of a cure. But some of the originally designed structures that were never built have begun appearing - with subtle changes - and Mister X must find the secret behind this mysterious urban renewal before Radiant City's inhabitants tear the city apart!

Gilbert and his brother Jaime Hernández mostly publish their separate storylines together in Love And Rockets and are often referred to as 'Los Bros Hernandez'. Gilbert Hernandez, born in 1957, enjoyed a pleasant childhood in Oxnard, California, with four brothers and one sister. In Gilbert’s words, they were “born into a world with comic books in the house.” His childhood enthusiasm for the medium was equaled only by his appetite for punk rock. Initiated by older brother Mario and bankrolled by younger brother Ismael, Gilbert created Love and Rockets #1 with his brother Jaime in 1981. Over 30 years later, the series is regarded as a modern classic and the Hernandez brothers continue to create some of the most startling, original, and intelligent comic art ever seen. From 1983 to 1996, Gilbert produced the now legendary Palomar saga, collected in the graphic novels Heartbreak Soup and Human Diastrophism, and considered to be one of the defining bodies of literature of its era. Gilbert lives in Las Vegas, NV, with his wife Carol and daughter Natalia.
