My new anti-hero

I happened on The Mister X comics while digging through my boss' massive collection (that he happened upon while digging in an attic 10 years ago) to see what I would like to buy from him. He had a couple of Sandman issues, but almost the entire first two volumes of Mister X, of which I knew nothing about. The covers were cool, though, so I grabbed 'em.

Which makes it kind of funny that the series is about a mysterious architect who takes a serum to stay awake for months at a time - "There's too much work to do to sleep!" - and has enemies from his former design school days that plot ways to kill him with his own designs. He's desperately trying to fix how his Psychetecture design was implemented, because it's driving the inhabitants of Radiant City insane. Yet another case of an architect not watching the implementers close enough, or in this case, at all, since he was in a sanitorium at the time.

Nearly every pane has someone falling off of an art deco-style building, papers floating through the air, a deranged addict, film noir lighting, and architecture jokes; For example: One pane is a crowd scene where a man is holding a book with only the top half of the title showing, "Vers Une". Another has the label on a killer robot as "Aalto".

I'm planning on scanning some of the panes (from both Sandman and Mister X), printing them as posters on the plotters at school, and then mounting them on foam core. DIY publishing is so nice.
