Vertigo, DC Comics edgy imprint for mature readers, has carved out quite a legacy since it was first launched in 1993. Vertigo and its stable of legendary talent elevated the comic book to levels reserved for great novels. Neil Gaiman’s Sandman series is top on that list, but there’s also Transmetropolitan, Preacher, Y: The Last Man, and Swamp Thing, to name a few.

To celebrate that legacy, Vertigo is releasing an anthology graphic novel that covers it all and then some. The official description reads:
“This deluxe hardcover relives the history of the innovative imprint as told by the people who lived it. A luxurious hybrid of oral history and retrospective art book, VERTIGO: A CELEBRATION OF 25 YEARS features a comprehensive timeline of every Vertigo project ever released; long-lost and never-before-seen artwork and story material; insightful new interviews and behind-the-scenes intrigue with Vertigo writers, artists, editors, designers and publishers; and all-new short stories and illustrations from classic Vertigo creators and other top comics talent.”
“Vertigo has long been renowned for some of the greatest graphic storytelling of all time, as it’s been home to such groundbreaking series as THE SANDMAN, SAGA OF THE SWAMP THING, THE INVISIBLES, DOOM PATROL, Y: THE LAST MAN, PREACHER, FABLES, 100 BULLETS–and that’s just to start. With Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison, Brian K. Vaughan, Scott Snyder Garth Ennis, Brian Azzarello, Frank Quitely, Matt Wagner, Jeff Lemire and countless more among its illustrious alumni, Vertigo has been the place where iconic talent and story meet.
