43. X is an imprint of the American comic-book publisher DC Comics. It was originally
created to do stories that could not meet the stringent guidelines of the Comics Code
Authority and this allowed their comics to have more graphic content than their main
imprint of titles. This also meant that their age-restricted titles were free to contain
explicit contents and other controversial subjects similar to that of an R-rated film.
Although many of its releases are in the horror and fantasy genres, it also publishes
works dealing with crime, social satire, speculative fiction, and biography.
Several of its publications have been adapted to film, including Hellblazer, A History of
Violence, Stardust, and V for Vendetta.
In 2010, it was announced that X would become a strictly creator-owned imprint, with
all titles that originated in the DC Universe returning to DC's main imprint.

features landscapes, intricate mathematical patterns such as fractals, intricate graphs
