About this Collection

This trade paperback collects the first issues of several Vertigo series launched in 2005, including The Exterminators, Testament, and The Vinyl Underground, offering a sampler of the imprint's new directions at the time. Published by DC Comics, it serves as a promotional entry point for readers exploring mature-themed, creator-owned stories under the Vertigo banner.

In "Unmanned," Alan Moore teams with Stephen R. Bissette, John Totleben, Tatjana Wood, and John Costanza for a chilling exploration of identity and memory. Jason Woodrue, hired by General Sunderland to dissect the origins of Swamp Thing, uncovers a disturbing truth: the creature believes itself to be Alec Holland—but that may not be the whole story. John J. Hill’s cover captures the tension of a mind unraveling, as the line between man and monster blurs.
