Page "Vertigo (DC Comics)" Paragraph 77

In addition to the various sub-imprints and formats, Vertigo was also an early adopter of hardcover collections of monthly comics, as well as hardcover OGNs ( original graphic novels ).

In addition, the 2003 one-shot Vertical featured dimensions unique in the comics field.

" ( N. B.

Vertical was not the first comics title to hinge on the " wrong " side.

A tried-and-tested method for presenting newspaper comic strips, the 2003 DC Elseworlds story Batman: Nine Lives also used this method-although unlike those titles, Vertical is designed to be read vertically, and not horizontally.
