Citizen Rex

A six-issue Dark Horse series from 2009, Citizen Rex is a cerebral science-fiction mystery about a reclusive artist whose work may hold the key to a vast, hidden conspiracy. Created by the team of writer Mark Millar and artist Dave Gibbons, the story unfolds in a near-future world where surveillance and celebrity culture have run amok. Its blend of noirish intrigue with Gibbons' clean, iconic linework and Millar's sharp, high-concept plotting makes it a distinctive, standalone graphic novel.
