About the series
In 2014, IDW launched The X-Files: Year Zero, a five-issue miniseries that delves into the secret history of the FBI's paranormal investigations. Written by Karl Kesel with art by Greg Scott and Vic Malhotra, this comic expands the mythology of the classic show by revealing a previously untold case from the 1940s—the very first X-File. By weaving together past and present, it offers longtime fans a fresh, foundational layer to the conspiracy while maintaining the eerie, investigative tone that defined the series.
