About the series
In the early 1950s, Mexican publisher Editorial Garga launched El Misterioso X, a 31-issue comic series that blended crime, horror, and science fiction into a single, shadowy anthology. The series centered on a mysterious, unnamed narrator—the "X" of the title—who introduced each tale of suspense and the supernatural. Though the specific creative team is not widely documented, the book stands as a key artifact of Mexico's vibrant Golden Age of comics, capturing the era's fascination with pulp mystery and the macabre. Its brief run offers a snapshot of post-war Latin American popular culture, where genre comics were finding a distinct, locally flavored voice.
