Subject Matter

Feature(s): On the Ledge

First Line: When my turn came around to write an "On the Ledge" column, I felt compelled to do something which truly exemplified the ideals behind Vertigo…

Synopsis: Morrison describes a bungie-jumping episode as proof that Vertigo writers live life to the fullest, bringing style and fresh outlook to their endeavors. DeMatteis explains that in his best works story and characters take on a life of their own, despite his intentions to produce something totally different. Such a work is his upcoming series Moonshadow.
