'''Vertigo Comics''', also known as '''DC Vertigo''' or simply '''Vertigo''', was an imprint of American comic book publisher [[DC Entertainment|DC Comics]] started by editor Karen Berger in 1993. Vertigo's purpose was to publish comics with adult content, such as nudity, drug use, profanity, and graphic violence, that did not fit the restrictions of DC's main line, thus allowing more creative freedom. The Vertigo branding began to decline in the 2010s, as certain properties like ''Hellblazer'' and ''Swamp Thing'' were re-integrated into DC's main comic books, while Berger departed in 2013. Berger's departure was followed by a series of editorial restructures, culminating in the imprint's relaunch as DC Vertigo in 2018. However, the relaunch suffered a multitude of setbacks, including numerous cancellations. After months of speculation, in June 2019, DC announced that Vertigo would be discontinued in January 2020 as part of a plan to publish all the company's comics under a single banner, with DC Black Label taking its place as DC's mature readers' imprint. | '''Vertigo Comics''', also known as '''DC Vertigo''' or simply '''Vertigo''', was an imprint of American comic book publisher [[DC Entertainment|DC Comics]] started by editor Karen Berger in 1993.
