Lovely Condition Piranha Press was an imprint of DC Comics and their first attempt at a creator-owned, mature readers line of comics. The line was a response to capture the popularity of "alternative comics" at the time. Launched in 1989 with the ongoing title Beautiful Stories for Ugly Children, Piranha was a bold, if not entirely successful, experiment in creator-owned content. The imprint folded in 1993, but it was revived in 1995 as Paradox Press. Although Paradox lasted only slightly longer than Piranha, it published John Wagner’s A History of Violence (1997) and Road to Perdition (1998) by writer Max Allan Collins and artist Richard Piers Rayner. Both graphic novels were later adapted into award-winning motion pictures. Far more enduring was DC’s Vertigo imprint, which began in 1993 as a home for mature-themed horror titles such as Hellblazer, Swamp Thing, and Neil Gaiman’s Sandman. Under the leadership of editor Karen Berger, the Vertigo line expanded dramatically All comics are from my own collection which I am disposing of.All photographs are of the comic you are bidding on. I do not use stock shots.I try to create short sets - usually with 6 or less related issues – to provide the reader with a complete or near complete story arc or theme. This provides a better reading experience and can also encourage a jump in point for new companies, characters or titles.I aim for honest grading and will always describe any shortcomings including the presence of price stickers.All are packed securely.I identify “my favourites” as such. This doesn’t necessarily mean that they are better than my other listings - although I guess I would argue that they are!! You judge.I will always combine postage costs for multiple purchases. Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have collecting them.
