X claims to be one of its architects, but can he survive his own nightmarish condition and guilt over inventing Psychetecture, responsible for driving large numbers of residents mad? If the fights against relentless toughs don’t kill him, will the buildings and their mood-altering capabilities render him a raving neurotic? The enigmatic Mister X, who must force himself (aided by the drug Insomnalin) never to succumb to sleep, vows to restore Radiant City to its original noirish grandeur. “ In the days when the popular arts were just starting to get to grips with postmodernism,” recalls Warren Ellis in his Foreword, “ Mister X presented a fable of the postmodern condition: a detoured Ayn Rand hero, an architect who dropped out and allowed his vision of the perfect city to be bastardized returns as a wreck of a man to try and fix it.” This hefty volume collects Issues 1 through 14 of the Vortex Mister X comic-book series, and “Heartsprings & Watchstops” from Issue 1 of the Atomeka comic-book series A-1.
