Dogwitch Creator Debuts Indigo Vertigo at Image in August
Dogwitch creator Dan Schaffer is joining forces with Katiejane
Garside, the front woman for the U.K.'s Queenadreena rock band, for Indigo
Vertigo (JUN051755D), a 48-page, black-and-white one-shot shipping from
Image Comics this August!
Conceived by Garside and Schaffer, Indigo Vertigo explores the psychological breakdown and breakthrough of a single character through a sequence of hallucinatory scenes. Garside's brutal and visceral lyrical talents are translated into intense symbolism and explicit imagery by Schaffer's combination of fully painted and digital art.
"It's not a book that gives you all the answers on a plate. You're going to have to use a couple of brain cells," said Schaffer. "I genuinely can't think of anything out there that I can compare it with. It's not one for the kids.
"Katiejane's approach to the construction of a graphic novella defies all established rules, and the result is a book unlike anything currently found in western comics. Instigating a violent but intuitive creative process, she manipulates and tangles words and images into a powerful, multi-layered vision. It's a graphic book designed to communicate on a number of different levels. Katiejane's words are hypnotic and they cut to the bone, but they're always in motion, the meanings varying with each reading."
The new Queenadreena album, The Butcher and the Butterfly, is available now in the U.K. and will be released in the U.S. on September 13 through Little Indian Records. Indigo Vertigo is solicited in the June Previews -- see below for additional information, and confirm quantities with this month's initial order!
