MISTERIIX :
THE ARCHIVES To commememorate the 25th year since Mister X's first Vortex appearance Dark Horse is publishing a high-end archive edition of the color run of the seminal 1980's comic series. This 384-page hardcover edition features new, high-quality scans, printing and corrected pagination (compared to the ibooks collection) and, of course, my revised and restored finale. It highlights the work of the Hernandez Brothers, Seth, Paul Rivoche, myself and others. It also features stories by Bill Sienciewicz, Dave McKean and Neil Gaiman. |

MISTERIIX :
CONDEMNED W r i t t e n + I l l u s t r a t e d b y All-new series now in production! Dark Horse has offered me the opportunity to resurrect my most popular creation in an all-new four-issue mini-series. This fresh visualization is a reboot is designed for new readers as well as those that remember the original series. These stories are even more rooted in Film Noir, German Expressionism, Art Deco and the Bauhaus architectural aesthetics that made the book so compelling in the '80s. It is a darker and more somber vision, but not completely devoid of humor. At least I hope that's the way the readers will view it. |

NOTABLE 2007 RELEASES
BATMAN: BLACK & WHITE Featuring my tale, Gargoyles of Gotham, not mention fabulous work by such luminaries as Michael Kaluta, Paul Pope, Phillip Bond, Dave Gibbons, Mike Mignola, Ed Brubaker and many others. I highly recommend the previous two volumes of the best 'noir' visions of the Dark Knight. |

![]() Written by Dean Motter Jon Geoffries has just learned that the Earth has a twin, a parallel world in another dimension. The two worlds are closely linked. Most people have nearly identical counterparts of themselves on both Earths, and their fates are tied together. If your counterpart dies on the other world, you die, too. It's inescapable. The twin Earth is mirror of our own, except that human society is nocturnal. And our worlds are phased in such a way that when it is day in one it is night in the other. The night world is similar to our own but it is marked by cultural differences as the result of humanity developing in darkness. A shared history and population tie these worlds together. Each major event has a similar reciprocal event. There are unscrupulous types that seek to affect events in one dimension by manipulating those in the other. They do this by means of the rare individuals who have no doppelgangers and are able to move from world to world. These people are referred to as 'Uniques'." Jon is one of those Uniques, and he's a target of ruthless enemies who plan to use the connection between the Earths to control the fates of billions. While Unique is my first contemporary story in a while, it is somewhat of a a tribute to Richard Matheson and Harlan Ellison; as if Richard Kimble from the old Fugitive TV series woke up in a vintage Twilight Zone episode. My script is illustrated by Dennis Calero of Marvel's X-Factor fame and I couldn't be happier with the results. |

"Unique" centers on Jon Geoffries, a man who
discovers the Earth has a twin, a parallel world in
another dimension. The worlds are closely linked,
explaining such phenomena as deja vu and love at first
sight, with people having counterparts on both Earths.
However, a few are born "unique," with no
doppelgangers, and can travel between worlds. Geoffries
is one such person and soon finds himself a target of
enemies who want to exploit his connection. The graphic novel, by Dean Motter and Dennis Calero, was brought to Heyman by Heyday's Marc Rosen. Louanne
Brickhouse is overseeing the project for the Walt Disney
Co. Aaron Severson is supervising it for Platinum and
will serve as associate producer. |
Heyman is best known as the producer of the "Harry Potter" movies. The UNIQUE graphic novel is scheduled to be published by Top Cow. |

"Finally! My name on the FRONT of an album!"
Publisher/ auteur Ralph Alfonso has expanded the purview of the Bongo Beat enterprise to include some wonderfully esoteric CD's. Among the most notable of these is a tasty number entitled Driving In The Rain: 3 AM - Songs To Get Lost With. It's a collection of previously unreleased tracks by Teenage Head's Dave Rave, Paul Hyde, Kevin Kane, BB Gabor, Tom Wilson, Katrina & The Waves, Kimberley Rew, Jackson Phibes, Ralph and others. One notable cut, 'A Darkened Stretch' from the upcoming Thrilling Women CD by Jeffery Morgan and Dean Motter has received some encouraging critical interest.
" Let's put it this way: my 3:00 AM compilations (many of which I made long before I had even heard of this record, incidentally) involve the likes of Chroma Key, the Cure, Joy Division, Kid Loco, Pink Floyd and Massive Attack. Nowhere in that mish-mash of musical styles, subgenres and decades is there any trace of anything uplifting RECOMMENDED TRACKS: "Celtic Cross" (BB Gabor), "A Darkened Stretch" (Jeffrey Morgan with Dean Motter.)"- David Perri,
