NEXT: LET THIS CUP PASS...VERTIGO QUARTERLY: CMYK
The third installment of VERTIGO’s new Quarterly
Anthology, CMYK is out just in time for fall and
appropriately correlates with the color YELLOW!
‘As the leaves change, the sun sinks lower in the
sky, the air becomes crisp and there's a sense of
rejuvenation, a need to accomplish something, to
be somebody. To ride right along that euphoria we
have stories that fill you with a passion for life by
Toril Orlesky and Fabio Moon. But as bright foliage
quickly turns to grey limbs, yellow is the cycle of
death as Matt Miner and Taylan Kurtulus portray in
their tale,
A sickly fear of the inevitable winter freeze is
explored by Joao Lemos, and the chill that runs
down your spine when unseen feet crunch on a pile
of leaves is exploited by Marguerite Bennett and
Bill Sienkiewicz. It becomes a time to battle your
monsters with Gerard Way and Philip Bond, stand
Ene
up to a rival with Steve Orlando and Emilio Utrera,
or fight for a cause with Diego Agrimbau and Lucas
Varela, Maybe B. Read and Chris Wildgoose will
even teach you something new.
Stories about living life and stories about dying
Extreme horror to a dash of humor. The perfect
accompaniment to all feelings of fall - from hallows
eve to giving thanks, falling leaves and changing
lives, time to shake off the malaise of a hot, sticky
summer and do something productive. So sit back
with your pumpkin latte and enjoy!
