The X-Files / Hero Illustrated Special

In 1995, Topps Comics published a single-issue The X-Files / Hero Illustrated Special, a crossover comic written by Stefan Petrucha and drawn by Charles Adlard. This standalone installment brought the eerie, paranormal world of the television series into the pages of Hero Illustrated magazine, offering fans a unique, self-contained story. As a brief but memorable tie-in, it captures the mid-90s synergy between pop-culture magazines and licensed comics, showcasing the talents that would later define the longer X-Files comic runs.
