Mister X The Modern Age

This digital edition collects, for the first time, every Mister X comic published by Dark Horse, including Condemned, Excavations, and Razed, along with never-before-seen behind-the-scenes material! In the retro-futuristic metropolis of Radiant City, its mysterious creator, Mister X, must protect the city and its residents as the architecture of the city that poses a danger to all those within it!

Visit Radiant City, designed using the principles of psychetecture to soothe its inhabitants. But something went horribly wrong, and the city instead causes anxiety, insomnia, and madness! As ordinary citizens begin giving in to dementia and a serial killer walks the streets, a desperate City Hall commissions a drastic program of urban demolition, resulting in the deaths of an entire sect of architects.

When Mister X hit the shelves twenty-five years ago, no one had ever seen anything like it — a fusion of film noir, Art Deco, and German Expressionism channeled through the talents of the greatest up-and-coming artists of the day. 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.

Twenty-something guitarist Aksel stutters when he sings, and the latest reviews say he has the voice of a crow with throat plague. That’s not a compliment, even for the avant-garde music his band Perkeros plays. Aksel is having a hard time keeping the band together, stopping his girlfriend from kicking him out, and not getting eaten by his drummer (who happens to be a cranky brown bear). There are also the rival bands that Perkeros find themselves in battle with to save the city from supernatural forces set loose by ancient music. The key to it all could be in the music Aksel hears in his dreams—if it doesn’t drive him mad first. With a visual soundtrack that blasts off the page, Sing No Evil is a wild ride through otherworldly dangers and the power of pure rock’n’roll.

In 2009 Dean Motter revisited his seminal comic book character Mister X with the short story Yacht on the Styx. This was the prelude to a reboot of the Mister X series from Dark Horse Comics. In 2015 Rolling Stone magazine listed Mister X as number 32 of the Top 50 Non-Super hero Graphic Novels The series was collected into the anthology Mister X: The Modern Age. This edition collects some of Motter’s favorite post-millennial Mister X short stories Pokerface, Xmas in Somnopolis, The Vanishing Breed and Mister X in Slumberland as well as featuring the first chapter of the fourth miniseries, Excavations.
