RE: Adapted into Comic Books - The X-Files from 1995
I'm a HUGE fan of the Topps X-Files comics. I remember the massive underestimation they made when it came to issue #1 which required at least two additional reprints in the six-figure range to satisfy demand. As I recall, #2 and #3 also had reprints, though not as large since they upped the first-run count.
This one in particular was a story that stuck with me for a long time, since people were getting murdered via a hole drilled into the skull, but died with smiles on their faces. Also, while the interior artwork varied in quality, Miran Kim's covers are jaw-dropping in their authenticity and creep factor. I'd have bought the books for them alone, honestly.
Bruh, I hear you on Miran Kim. It was like X-Files had their own Dave McKean / Sandman cover artist pairing going on. I love Adlard, a lot, but I love how Kim did the covers. I'm going to have to dig out in my personal collection something you'd appreciate, it is just these huge cards, roughly comic book backing board size, with X-Files painted art by a few different artists, a lot of them really dark art. I have no clue where I put them though but I will post them if I find them, I forget if I ever found out how to price them but loved them so just kept them with my own stuff. Topps really got lucky when they got the X-Files license, but on the other hand, they treated the series with such great respect and love.
Latest episode of X-Files is top tier comedic episodes btw, not sure if you are keeping up, but it is a "monster of the week" stand alone type episode so you don't feel the need to have to watch anything else to enjoy it, just appreciation of old episodes of X-Files because it has a few flashbacks that you may have remembered differently that will make you smile.
