☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 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.
After serving time behind bars, Isabelle "Dizzy" Cordova steps off the train into a world she barely recognizes—only to be met by Agent Graves, who hands her a gun and a list of names tied to the brutal murder of her husband and child. With a hundred untraceable bullets and a target in her sights, Dizzy must navigate a web of lies, old debts, and the ghosts of her past, all while two officers—Swirski and Morgan—watch her every move.
In a chilling experiment of science and vengeance, General Avery Carlton Sunderland summons Jason Woodrue to dissect the truth behind Swamp Thing’s transformation—only to learn that the creature’s identity is built on a lie. As Woodrue uncovers the fractured memory of Alec Holland’s fate, the line between man and monster blurs, and a long-buried betrayal begins to surface.
