X / Hero Illustrated Special

Launched in 1994 by Dark Horse as a tie-in to Hero Illustrated magazine, this two-issue special spotlights the armored vigilante X, written by Steven Grant with art by Corky Lehmkuhl, Jordi Ensign, and Vince Giarrano. A compact, self-contained action story from the gritty 1990s, it offers a focused look at X's brutal war on crime without the sprawling continuity of an ongoing series.
