''Ectokid'' is a Fantasy Comic Book series published by Marvel Comics ' Razorline Imprint , created by filmmaker and Horror / Fantasy novelist Clive Barker . ''Ectokid'' ran nine issues (Sept. 1993 - May 1994) before being discontinued with the rest of the Razorline titles. The art for all nine issues was by Penciller Steve Skroce and Inker Bob Dvorak . The writing was split between James Robinson (issues #1-3) and Larry Wachowski (issues #3-9), future co-creator of '' The Matrix '' film trilogy. Although uncredited, Wachowski's brother and filmmaking partner Andy Wachowski co-wrote with him. {Link without Title} . Though carrying the Comics Code seal, ''Ectokid'' and the other Razorline titles were often racked with horror and unrated comics, a factor that entered into the imprint's demise. A subsequent one-shot, ''Ektokid Unleashed'' (Oct. 1994), was written by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning , with artwork by penciler Hector Gomez and inker John Strangeland . It included a prose short story starring another Razorline character, Saint Sinner , written by Elaine Lee . SETTING As Barker described, {Link without Title} :
''Ectokid'' is centered around 14-year-old Dextor Mungo, whose father was a ghost. Dex, as he's called, sees the world as it normally is through his right eye, but through his left he can see into the Ectosphere, a dimension similar to Earth but with a number of crucial differences. All the regular-Earth buildings are in the same places, but have a crusted and coral-covered appearance, and this world is populated by creatures and races out of myths, legends and nightmares.
