Isabelle Licari-Guillaume's Vertigo Comics succeeds in charting the messy contours of that influential publishing projectReframing long-held myths about its Britishness and its themes, she brings into sharp focus that cornerstone of recent comic book history.Dr. Nicolas Labarre, Université Bordeaux Montaigne, France, author of Understanding Genres in Comics and Heavy Metal, l’autre Métal Hurlant
Licari-Guillaume has done the seemingly impossible: she has gotten the reader interested in British comics creators other than Gaiman, Moore, and Morrison. Part history, part interpretation, her work here is a fascinating look at the rise and fall of the Vertigo imprint and is a must read for comics scholars.
Dr. Christopher Bell, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, USA
This is the first full-length study of a phenomenon that changed the history of comics. Licari-Guillaume documents the history, styles and development of Vertigo with aplomb, proving a work that is as readable as the comics themselves, whilst relating to broader issues and significances. A must-read for comics fans and scholars alike.
