The Matrix: Comic Book Preview was a sixteen page booklet printed in March 1999 and meant to be given away at the release of The Matrix but was recalled instead when the content was deemed too controversial.[1]
It included the Series 1 introduction, the comic "Déjà Vu", pin-ups by Bill Sienkiewicz, Ted McKeever and Aron Weisenfeld as well as adverts for the comics, the film and The Matrix: Music from the Motion Picture.
