When Mister X hit the shelves twenty-five years ago, no one had ever seen anything like it — a fusion of film noir, Art Deco, and German Expressionism channeled through the talents of the greatest up-and-coming artists of the day. The story of a utopian city with architecture that drove its inhabitants mad and the never-sleeping architect who quested tirelessly for a cure, Mister X captivated a generation of comics fans and creators, transforming the landscape of their chosen medium forever. Still as inspiring and compelling as the first time it saw print, the entire run of Mister X written by Dean Motter gets the deluxe treatment in this volume, every page of its groundbreaking artwork painstakingly restored.

This digital edition collects, for the first time, every Mister X comic published by Dark Horse, including Condemned, Excavations, and Razed, along with never-before-seen behind-the-scenes material! In the retro-futuristic metropolis of Radiant City, its mysterious creator, Mister X, must protect the city and its residents as the architecture of the city that poses a danger to all those within it!

Visit Radiant City, designed using the principles of psychetecture to soothe its inhabitants. But something went horribly wrong, and the city instead causes anxiety, insomnia, and madness! As ordinary citizens begin giving in to dementia and a serial killer walks the streets, a desperate City Hall commissions a drastic program of urban demolition, resulting in the deaths of an entire sect of architects.

The psychetecture upon which Radiant City was built is driving its residents insane, and only Mister X can help! If that wasn't enough, a government coup has thrust Radiant City into turmoil, initiating a countdown that could embroil everyone Mister X holds dear in a deadly new conflict! This volume collects Mister X: Eviction #1-#3, Mister X: Hard Candy, and the rarely seen short story Mister X: The Vanishing Breed. * A great jumping-on point to the classic series! * What is the secret behind Radiant City's pyschetecture?!

The bold graphic illustrations and bright colors of Mister Horizontal & Miss Vertical will have tremendous, immediate appeal for children.
