Mister X: The Modern Age #[nn]

Dean Motter's singular vision of Radiant City comes through in every line of this 2016 Dark Horse collection, with a stunning rooftop aerial view plunging readers into the Art Deco urban labyrinth that defines the Mister X world. The cover — penciled and inked by Motter himself — captures that vertiginous, Expressionist cityscape from above, all angular architecture and deep shadows stretching across a grid of rooftops and towers. If you've ever been drawn to noir atmosphere wrapped in modernist design, The Modern Age announces itself as essential reading from its very first glance.
