Vertigo Comics

Vertigo Comics was an imprint of DC Comics specializing in mature, edgy, and innovative storytelling aimed at adult audiences. Founded in 1993, it published critically acclaimed series like "Sandman," "Preacher," and "Y: The Last Man," known for their complex characters, sophisticated themes, and artistic creativity. Vertigo became a platform for bold, experimental narratives that often explored dark fantasy, horror, and social issues, influencing modern comic book storytelling. In 2020, Vertigo was officially discontinued, with many of its titles absorbed into DC’s main offerings, but its legacy endures as a pioneer of mature, literary comics.
