☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second volume of the definitive Mister X collection continues the surreal, art-deco-noir saga of the architect-turned-vigilante in the dystopian city of Radiant City. It reprints issues from the original series, delving deeper into the psychological and structural decay of the metropolis and its inhabitants, with contributions from various creators who shaped the character's cult-following legacy.
In "Heartsprings & Watchstops," Mister X is pulled into a dangerous game of deception when he’s blackmailed into taking on a private investigator case—only to find himself caught in a web where his identity may be the real mystery. Written by Dean Motter and illustrated with striking precision by Seth, this issue blends noir atmosphere with surreal detail, enhanced by William Diamond’s inks, Klaus Schoenefeld’s muted colors, and Deborah Glencross’s sharp lettering. The cover, a haunting piece by Dave McKean, captures the story’s uneasy tone with its signature blend of dreamlike imagery and shadowed tension.
In "The Secret," Mister X is pulled into a high-stakes game of deception when he’s blackmailed into taking on a private investigator case—only to suspect the entire setup is a trap orchestrated by someone who believes he’s someone else entirely. The line between identity and illusion blurs as the investigation spirals into a mystery that may be as much about who Mister X thinks he is as it is about who he’s being made to pretend to be.
