	Vertigo (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Vertigo publishes stories aimed at a more matureaudience.
		Vertigo was founded in the wake of DC's successful "mature" comics of the late 1980s, beginning with Saga of the Swamp Thing and continuing with Watchmen, Hellblazer and The Sandman.
		In an era when almost all of the big names in comics were artists, and most companies were pushing the art over story (such as the well known Image Comics), Vertigo was unique in pushing writers to the forefront.

	Vertigo Tarot Review
		Vertigo is a stunning deck, and the online scans do not really capture the rich colours of the cards.
		Vertigo is often described as dark, but I would say this quality is derived from its introspective and commanding nature rather than any morbid or negative tones.
		I'm a Vertigo Comics fan, and I was thrilled to see this deck reissued. Dave McKean's art is lovely and evocative, very dark and full of symbolism while still leaving the reader a lot of room to wiggle and interpret.

	Tangled Web UK Review - Vertigo Visions by Vertigo Comics May 2000 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Vertigo Visions assembles some of the best artwork from the Vertigo imprint, culled not from the panels that make up the comics themselves, but from cover art, special "gallery" issues, and trading cards and other ephemera associated with the line.
		Because so much attention is lavished on these aspects of comics, the result is a very handsome volume that may not, however, be entirely indicative of the general quality of Vertigo art.
		Even devotees of Vertigo are unlikely to have seen all of this art before, and the art that is familiar can be better appreciated without the various bits of cover typography and bar codes normally attached.

		Vertigo is a line of comics labeled for “Mature Readers,” because of its adult themes, sci-fi, horror and occult titles.
		When the Vertigo line spun off from DC in the early ‘90’s what it intended was a place for comic fans to find complex and in-depth pieces of fiction told in comic book form.
		Not only did they accomplish this (Vertigo is one of the most critically acclaimed line of comic books today), but they also, by chance, became the best place to find well written original gay and lesbian characters in comics.

		While some comics geared towards mature audiences can be more violent and sexually explicit than the “all ages” titles, rarely is that all there is to the book.
		Industry giant DC Comics was one of the first major companies to start its own line of comics for mature readers.
		Where the success of a superhero comic is most often a result of the art, the most successful mature titles rely on strong writing for their sales.

		Even many of the more experienced comics readers might have a hard time placing two of the four major magical protagonists, Mister E and Doctor Occult (who actually is one of DC's oldest characters, having been created many decades ago before slipping into obscurity).
		Often, this is done for purposes of historical revisionism, which is for the good, since the accretion of rank silliness and sloppily conceived plots in the thousands of DC comics over the years has resulted in many mutually contradictory character origins and universal histories, not to mention a lot of gross stupidity.
		(I've noticed that all hip English characters in the comics have to share a loathing of the perceived horrors of Thatcherism, which arguably was the economic salvation of the UK, but again I digress.) Constantine is one of the most feared occult characters in the DC universe, even though he's actually one of the weakest.

		Whether they changed a lot is up for debate (the Indies and the Underground comics from the 60s and 70s were certainly "serious" and had been tackling taboo subject matter for years before Vertigo), but one has to say that Vertigo brought with it a new sensibility to mainstream comic books and to DC Comics.
		While Milligan admits as much in the comic, taking nearly half of the collection to do so was too much, not to mention that his ultimate conclusion on who shot JFK reeks of sloppy writing.

		The Sandman Companion isn't a comic book -- but it's a book that no Sandman reader is going to want to be without.
		Too many publishers put together a hastily-assembled compilation of sketch pages, maps, charts, brief interviews, mainstream articles and photos and pass it off as a "companion." Hy Bender has raised the bar by producing a book that deserves a place on the shelf right next to the Sandman tales themselves....Wonderfully done.

		The Vertigo influence is obvious; however, this comic book crossover was published by Marvel, not DC, and is therefore not included.

	COMICON.com: THE HUSTLER # 20 The Good Old Days of Vertigo
		It's been a mish mosh of New Age, various comics about Witches, Hellblazer hasn't had a true regular writer in some time, Swamp Thing is a gory mess that seems to be looking for something resembling a storyline.
		But all too often, the Vertigo titles simply play the shock and awe card and simply don't have the daring storytelling evidenced from the creators legacy when Vertigo was really making head spin.
		It should be noted that a year after Swamp Thiing moved into the Vertigo imprint, a little known british writer named Mark Millar was given his big break when he was handed the title (he co-wrote his first four issues with mentor Grant Morrison).

		DS: Most of my artistic influences are from outside of comics, but if we’re talking about technical influences, people who have influenced the craft itself rather than any artistic direction, then I think it’s fair to say that most of my early influences were from 2000AD artists.
		Comics are the best way to do that on your own in a room with the minimum amount of materials.
		Really, I fucking love comics, but I think a healthy industry would be able to support a lot more than what’s seen in the top 100 sales lists.

	Sequential Tart: A League Apart (vol VI/iss 4/April 2003)
		For me, Vertigo was never an imprint where I felt appreciated as a woman; it was about being appreciated as an adult.
		At Vertigo I got comics that were just as good as — and in many cases light years more adavanced than — the popular horror, sci-fi, fantasy, suspense, and "drama" novels I liked to read when I wasn't reading Great Literature.
		But, at the end of the day, Vertigo is about being an imprint with a wide variety of non "alt" comics stories that appeal to those with adult tastes.
