When our country was young, the truly great Americans were the intrepid pioneers of the backwoods, which were thick and sown with sudden death, the greatest of the backwoodsmen was Dan Brand! Brand is a colonial-era Philadelphia socialite who travails the Western wilderness to revenge the murder of his fiancee. After a battle to the death with a bear, Brand is found barely alive by Chief Great Eagle and his young son, Tipi, who nurse him back to health. Brand stays on to learn the ways of the forest and of the Indian. Peter Bradford, the murderer of Brand's fiancee reappears as a rum runner and guns dealer, to kill Great Eagle. Brand avenges the deaths of his fiance and Great Eagle.

Mister X: The Brides of Mister X and Other Stories - 1st printing.
After revolutionizing the worlds of design and storytelling in 1984, Dean Motter's Mister X returned half a decade later to reinvent alternative comics again for a whole new audience. Returning to the story of Radiant City's mysterious architect and his sleepless quest to repair the flaw in its design that is driving its citizens mad, the second version of Motter's creation used the black-and-white format to introduce deeper shadows and more expressionistic angles to its Art Deco world. With an edgier look and starker themes, this take on Mister X is as groundbreaking today as it was twenty years ago.
