Vertigo Vérité: The Unseen Hand

DC’s Vertigo imprint launched this four-issue miniseries in 1996, a taut conspiracy thriller from writer Terry LaBan and artist Ilya. Set in a world of shadowy government manipulation and media control, the story follows a journalist unraveling a hidden network that shapes public perception. With its moody, expressionistic art and a script that channels the era’s distrust of institutions, The Unseen Hand stands as a sharp, understated gem from Vertigo’s mid-1990s peak.
