Indigo Vertigo
''Indigo Vertigo'' is a 48-page graphic novella, written by KatieJane Garside and illustrated by ''Dogwitch'' creator, Daniel Schaffer. It was published by Image Comics in 2005. ''Indigo Vertigo'' is marketed as "the hallucinatory spectacle of one woman's experience at the brink of reality," and described by a Warren Ellis quotation on the back cover as, "Like Sylvia Plath fucking David Lynch." According to Schaffer, who acknowledges a heavy influence from Lynch (and also Japanese auteur, Shinya Tsukamoto), the book is an experiment in subjective storytelling, and came about as the result of an unconventional, intuitive creative process developed by himself and KatieJane Garside (best known as the former vocalist of London noise punk band Daisy Chainsaw and Noise Rock band Queenadreena, and current vocalist of neo-folk duo Ruby Throat Ruby Throat is a British neofolk musical duo formed in 2007 by English vocalist KatieJane Garside and American guitarist Chris Whittingham ...

Image Comics
Image Comics is an American comic book publisher and is the third largest comic book and graphic novel publisher in the industry in both unit and market share. It was founded in 1992 by several high-profile illustrators as a venue for creator-owned properties, in which comics creators could publish material of their own creation without giving up the copyrights to those properties. Normally this isn't the case in the work for hire-dominated American comics industry, where the legal author is a publisher, such as Marvel Comics or DC Comics, and the creator is an employee of that publisher. Its output was originally dominated by superhero and fantasy series from the studios of the founding Image partners, but now includes comics in many genres by numerous independent creators. Its best-known publications include ''Spawn'', ''Savage Dragon'', ''Witchblade'', ''Bone'', '' The Walking Dead'', ''Invincible'', ''Saga'', '' Jupiter's Legacy'', '' Kick-Ass'' and '' Radiant Black''.

Image Comics Graphic Novels
An image is a visual representation of something. It can be two-dimensional, three-dimensional, or somehow otherwise feed into the visual system to convey information. An image can be an artifact, such as a photograph or other two-dimensional picture, that resembles a subject. In the context of signal processing, an image is a distributed amplitude of color(s). In optics, the term “image” may refer specifically to a 2D image. An image does not have to use the entire visual system to be a visual representation. A popular example of this is of a greyscale image, which uses the visual system's sensitivity to brightness across all wavelengths, without taking into account different colors. A black and white visual representation of something is still an image, even though it does not make full use of the visual system's capabilities. Images are typically still, but in some cases can be moving or animated. Characteristics Images may be two or three-dimensional, such as a pho ...
