Vertigo Comics
Vertigo Comics, also known as DC Vertigo or simply Vertigo, was an imprint of American comic book publisher DC Comics started by editor Karen Berger in 1993. Vertigo's purpose was to publish comics with adult content, such as nudity, drug use, profanity, and graphic violence, that did not fit the restrictions of DC's main line, thus allowing more creative freedom. Its titles consisted of company-owned comics set in the DC Universe, such as '' The Sandman'' and ''Hellblazer'', and creator-owned works, such as ''Preacher'', '' Y: The Last Man'' and ''Fables''. The Vertigo branding was retired in 2020, and most of its library transitioned to DC Black Label. Vertigo grew out of DC's mature readers' line of the 1980s, which began after DC stopped submitting '' The Saga of the Swamp Thing'' for approval by the Comics Code Authority. Following the success of two adult-oriented 1986 limited series, '' Batman: The Dark Knight Returns'' and ''Watchmen'', DC's output of mature readers ti ...
