Mister X: Hard Candy

In 2013, Dean Motter returned to Dark Horse for a single-issue Mister X story, Hard Candy, a standalone chapter in the surreal, retro-futurist saga of the architect-turned-vigilante in the dystopian city of Radiant. Written and illustrated entirely by Motter, this installment distills the series' signature blend of noir, art deco design, and psychological unease into a concise, self-contained tale. It stands as a later, focused entry in the long-running Mister X mythos, showcasing Motter's singular vision for a world where architecture itself can be a weapon or a prison.
