One of the more exciting events of late 1992 was the launching of DC’s Vertigo line of comics for adult readers. This line would become a critical favorite among comics readers, praised for its innovation and strong storytelling.

This one-shot previewed the new Vertigo line, including currently-running titles Sandman, Hellblazer, Doom Patrol, Animal Man, Swamp Thing, and Shade, the Changing Man. New Vertigo titles include Sandman Mystery Theatre, a Jazz Age adventure starring Wesley Dodds, the Golden Age Sandman; Kid Eternity, who raises the dead in order to raise humanity’s consciousness; Black Orchid, the tales of a beautiful and ephemeral goddess; Enigma, a dark combination of comic books and madness; Mercy, an ethereal entity who changes lives; Death: The High Cost of Living, the story of Death’s one day as a mortal; and Sebastian O, a scoundrel who believes the key to high crime is snappy dressing.
