I’m just heavily biased for this. The x-files was my favourite show growing up. I watched each week & me and my friends played FBI agents on the playground in primary school.
I found this when looking through my old stuff & transported me back as loved the x-files comics too.3 entertaining tales, imagine this is out of print now. But if you love the x-files this is good fun.

This was a real nice quick little read. Some of the pacing was questionable but overall really good. I think the title story is probably the weakest of the three and the chupacabra and big foot ones were more fun.

DEAD TO THE WORLD pitches Mulder and Scully against the well-known St. Germain, a medieval alchemist (a real historic figure) who has discovered the secret to immortality. The secret involves stealing glands from very old people, so when a 106 year old woman dies mysteriously, Germain is hunted by the Feds. When Mulder catches up with him, Germain fakes his own suicide, but he is a master conjurer who has faked death many times. Now, in a state of ageing, and riddled with flesh eating parasites, he kidnaps Scully to help him survive again...
