Zone X: A Journey into the Mystery World of Martin Mystère

In the vast universe of Italian comics, Zona X stands out as one of the most compelling and intriguing series, designed for fans of mystery and adventure. Published by Sergio Bonelli Editore, this series has captured the imagination of readers with its exciting stories and unforgettable characters.

What is Zone X ?

Zona X is a comic book series that was born as a spin-off of the famous Martin Mystère , created by Alfredo Castelli. Focused on an alternate and mysterious dimension, the series explores paranormal and mysterious themes, often with a horror and science fiction nuance. Set in a parallel and dystopian world, Zona X offers a mix of breathtaking adventures, complex puzzles and disturbing atmospheres.

The Concept

The series stands out for its original narration and its ability to create engaging and mysterious atmospheres. Each issue of Zone X presents two complete stories , each with an independent plot but linked by a common thread: the mystery. With a structure that combines elements of thriller and fantasy, the stories of Zone X take readers on a journey through dark and disturbing worlds, where nothing is ever as it seems.

The Series in Detail

The Zona X series consists of 45 issues , published between 1991 and 1999. Each issue is distinguished by the presence of 196 pages of adventures and mysteries, with gripping plots and high-quality illustrations. The publisher, Sergio Bonelli Editore, has taken care of every detail to offer readers an immersive and engaging experience.

Zona X saw its last publication in 1999, and no new issues have been published since. The series therefore had a limited duration, but left a lasting mark on the panorama of Italian comics.
