Electropolis
Welcome to the world of 2001 as envisioned in 1941. An experimental community built at the beginning of the electric age, Electropolis is characterized by skyscraper-sized Van Der Graaf generator towers and Strickfadden machines, as well as a distinctive modernist architectural style. From above, the city resembles nothing so much as the interior of an old radio or television. Machines as buildings...Electricity as commerce. Set against this backdrop, ELECTROPOLIS is a vintage murder mystery that goes to the heart of the power industry in this brave new world.ELECTROPOLIS is written and illustrated by DEAN MOTTER ( The Prisoner, Mister X, Terminal City) It picks up, one could say, where Mister X and Terminal City both intersect, and left off. ELECTROPOLIS continues his explorations in the unique retro-futuristic genre he created in these books.

Terminal City: Aerial Graffiti
Cosmo Quinn and the city he calls home return in this 5-issue miniseries from Terminal City collaborators Dean Motter and Michael Lark, with covers by Mark Chiarello. Picking up six months after Terminal City left off, "human fly" Quinn has resumed his uneventful career as a window washer. But things change, and quickly, when a disgruntled ex-skywriter decides to vent his frustrations in an unusual way, using the skies above Terminal City as a canvas for his "aerial graffiti"--unprintable obscenities that threaten to tarnish the futurist city's finest hour: the opening of the Trans-Atlantic Tunnel connecting Terminal City to Paris. The police ask Cosmo's help in bringing the airborne vandal down to Earth, but there are, of course, complications, as the Mayor has hired an agent of his own--the mysterious lady in red named Monique Rome--to thwart the skywriter.
