The Return of Mister X

In 1986, Vortex Comics launched The Return of Mister X, a single-issue series that marked the debut of Paul Rivoche as the primary artist for the enigmatic, cyberpunk-noir world of Mister X. This one-shot continued the surreal, architecturally-driven saga of a silent protagonist navigating the hallucinatory city of Radiant City, expanding on the series' reputation for atmospheric, design-forward storytelling. Though brief, the issue is a key artifact of the Canadian indie comics boom, showcasing Rivoche's moody, precise linework that would become synonymous with the character's aesthetic.
