IMAGE'S INDIGO VERTIGO
Dan Schaffer, creator/writer/artist of Dogwitch, brings his new book Indigo Vertigo to Image Comics. The book, which Schaffer is illustrating, is a collaboration with Katiejane
Garside, the front woman for the UK rock band, Queenadreena.
Here's how Image describes the book:
"Indigo Vertigo was conceived by Garside and Schaffer, and the story 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 in fully painted and digital art by Schaffer."
"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, Schaffer said. "I
genuinely canıt 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 theyıre
always in motion, the meanings varying with each reading."
Indigo Vertigo, a 48-page black-and-white book, will be in stores on Aug. 17 with a price of $5.95.
