Mister X #7

In "The Secret," Dean Motter delivers a layered narrative woven through correspondence from characters including Michael Strafford, Deux, Jason Blankenship, Patrick Stevens, and CEA, with Motter himself responding to Jay Kennedy’s letter. The issue offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the collaborative process, clarifying that the Hernandez Brothers—primarily Gilbert—scripted the first four issues based on Motter’s original stories. The cover, a striking piece by Howard Chaykin, captures the mystery and intrigue of the series’ enigmatic tone.
