Description:The Matrix Comics is a set of comics
and short stories based on The Matrix film series and written and
illustrated by figures from the comics industry; one of the comics was
written by the Wachowskis and illustrated by the films' concept artist
Geof Darrow. The comics and stories were originally presented for free
on the Matrix series' website between 1999 and 2003. One of them was
printed in 1999 to be given away at theaters as a promotional item for
The Matrix, but Warner Bros. recalled it due to its mature content. Most
of them were later republished by the Wachowskis' Burlyman
Entertainment, along with some new stories and updates with color to
some of the existing ones, in two printed trade paperback volumes in
2003 and 2004 and a deluxe hardcover twentieth anniversary edition in
2019. By September 2004, the first printed volume had sold over 60,000
copies.
