This book explores the so-called "British Invasion" of DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint, which played an important role in redefining the mainstream comics industry in the US during the early 1990s. Focusing on British creators within Vertigo, this study traces the evolution of the line from its creation in 1993 to its demise in 2019. Through an approach grounded in cultural history, the book disentangles the imprint’s complex roots, showing how editors channelled the potential of its British writers at a time of deep-seated economic and cultural change within the comics industry, and promoted a sense of cohesion across titles that defied categories. The author also delves into lesser-known aspects of the Invasion, exploring less-canonical periods and creators that are often eclipsed by Vertigo’s early star writers. An innovative contribution on a key element of comic book history, this volume will appeal both to researchers of Vertigo scholarship and to fans of the imprint. It will also be an essential read for those interested in transatlantic collaborations and exchanges in the entertainment industry, processes of cultural legitimation and cultural hierarchies, and to anyone working on the representation of national and social identities.

"A selection of cover, trading card, and gallery art from DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, Vertigo Visions showcases the work of seventy-five major artists whose illustrations bring the concepts and storylines of the Vertigo writers to life." "Collectively, the pieces in Vertigo Visions convey a truly astonishing range, in both subject matter and technique: images of surpassing loveliness alongside nightmarish visions of the macabre and grotesque; lighthearted takes on familiar characters next to phantasmagorical landscapes from unnamable worlds; impressionistic watercolors, classical oils, and complex collages; delicate line drawings, stencil art, and sophisticated computer-manipulated creations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download and read online ebook Doom Patrol by Rachel Pollack Omnibus write by Rachel Pollack. This book was released on 2022-10-18. Doom Patrol by Rachel Pollack Omnibus available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Science-fiction author Rachel Pollack brings her unique and inventive sensibility to DC’s weirdest super-team! This massive hardcover collects her entire Doom Patrol run for the first time. Starting in 1989, Doom Patrol evolved into something truly bizarre—and brilliant—with some of the most unique ideas in fiction given shape. The book was part of a wave of unbridled creativity that helped inspire the creation of DC’s groundbreaking Vertigo imprint, and its impact is still felt today in the HBO Max Doom Patrol original series. In 1993, writer Rachel Pollack took over Doom Patrol from Grant Morrison, and quickly made the title her own—retaining its offbeat spirit while pushing its characters in new directions, and tackling important social issues in the Doom Patrol’s thoroughly unconventional way. This hardcover omnibus is the first-ever collection of Pollack’s run on Doom Patrol. In these stories, the Doom Patrol must pull themselves together yet again as they move into a bizarre new headquarters, gain two new members and try to cope with the preteen menace known as the Wild Girls! Then, artist Ted McKeever brings his surreal sensibility to the series, bringing it to a fittingly unique conclusion. This volume collects Doom Patrol #64-87, Doom Patrol Annual #2, Totems #1, and Vertigo Jam #1.
