“THE FILTH #1
Written by Grant Morrison;
art by Chris Weston and Gary Erskine; painted cover by Carlos Segura
In stores June 5.
Grant Morrison’s new, top-secret series for VERTIGO is here. Get ready for the heady brew of psychedelia that youve come to crave from the fan-favorite writer of New X-Men. Prosthetically-outfitted dolphins in scuba gear, a hard-smoking chimpanzee who dresses like a guard at the Kremlin and some cryptic pronouncements that something sneaky is going on right under our very noses is just the
beginning of the world-class weirdness to come.
Morrisons return to VERTIGO with this 13-issue maxiseries guarantees readers the heady brew of big
ideas, exotic locales and bizarre action that theyve come to crave from the fan-favorite writer. Fans have had their imagination rocked by his previous groundbreaking works such as ANIMAL MAN, DOOM PATROL and THE INVISIBLES, and watched as the writer helped reinvent and revitalize JLA and X-Men. Now, joined by the stunning visuals of penciller Chris Weston (Ministry of Space, THE INVISIBLES) & inker Gary Erskine (THE AUTHORITY), Morrisons new series THE FILTH shows all the signs of an instant classic. And speaking of notable art, the covers by progressive designer Carlos Segura stretch the boundaries of what has been previously seen, continuing VERTIGOs commitment to cutting-edge comics.
Youve seen the images. Youve heard the buzz (THE FILTH is everything I can’t do in a mainstream
comic like X-Men, says Morrison). The time for THE FILTH is now. What does all this have to do with the Way We Live Today? Want to know more about THE HAND and STATUS: Q? That would be telling? And our lips are sealed until June 5th!
THE FILTH is a 13-issue VERTIGO maxiseries edited by Karen Berger and is suggested for mature readers. The 32-page issue #1 arrives in comic-book stores June 5 with a cover price
of $2.95 U.S.”
