"A selection of cover, trading card, and gallery art from DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, Vertigo Visions showcases the work of seventy-five major artists whose illustrations bring the concepts and storylines of the Vertigo writers to life." "Collectively, the pieces in Vertigo Visions convey a truly astonishing range, in both subject matter and technique: images of surpassing loveliness alongside nightmarish visions of the macabre and grotesque; lighthearted takes on familiar characters next to phantasmagorical landscapes from unnamable worlds; impressionistic watercolors, classical oils, and complex collages; delicate line drawings, stencil art, and sophisticated computer-manipulated creations."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
