Milestone Monday
On this day, August 7, 1960, American actor David Duchovny was born in New York City. Beloved as FBI agent Fox Mulder on the long running television series The X-Files, Duchovny inspired audiences worldwide to want to believe in the supernatural. With the congressional UFO hearings fresh off the news cycle, if there was ever a moment to lean into Mulder’s ethos, it’s now!
As part of Special Collections' extensive comic collection, we hold several of The X-Files comics (a gift from our friend James Lowder) published by Topps Comics between 1995-98. The comics are a spin-off of the first season of the television series and are packed with all the dramatic pauses, spooky plot twists, and witty banter viewers are accustomed to. Topps intended to adapt every episode, but never made it into season two citing challenges with The X-Files creator Chris Carter who diligently scrutinized rough drafts.
The X-Files comics had a renowned staff of artists including Gordon Purcell (known for his Star Trek work), Charles Adlard, and cover artist Miran Kim. Our issues were written by Stefan Petrucha, John Rozum, and Wisconsinite Kevin J. Anderson. Their artistic interpretations of the series capture the actors’ deadpan humor and Scooby-Dooish stories, staking their claim within the comic world and placing The X-Files within publishing history. There is no shortage of collectibles for The X-Files fandom, but we are happy to share our few contributions with you in celebration of David Duchovny’s birthday.
We couldn't resist placing this David Duchovny action figure on the moon. The figure belongs to our department head Max, who keeps it in his office along with other dorky items, and the backdrop is a chromolithographic page spread from our copy of Bilder-Atlas der Sternenwelt, published in Esslingen bei Stuttgart by J. F. Schreiber in 1888. Photoshop credit goes to our department manager Alice.
THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE
