The Vertigo Mega Trades List

[JTLauder]

VERTIGO TRADES LIST (as of 3/2005)

This is an exhaustive list of Vertigo trades and the issues they contain.
I've tried to get them all, but I'm sure I might have missed something, and new ones should be added. So if anything is wrong, please correct.

Regular series are listed alphabetically. Miscellaneous mini series not directly connected with a regular series are listed at the end. OGNs are generally not included except to identify them separate from the regular trades.

Title header is followed by relevant series information--the different
series and the number of issues they contain. The brief series series info isn't all inclusive, but is meant for reference in deciphering what issues are contained in a trade book. Currently ongoing series list the latest known issue number that is known to actually be released, usually up until May.

[Kid Seven]

Thanks. This list is an awesome resource.

[dancj]

Great list!

One small correction though... The Swamp Thing Bad Seed tpb reprints the first issues of the 4th series, not the 3rd

[UniqueFrequency]

wow. AMAZING list. thanks alot!!

[TomGun13]

What about:

Unknown Soldier

[JTLauder]

... The Swamp Thing Bad Seed tpb reprints the first issues of the 4th series, not the 3rd

You're right. I was counting off the series numbers from the available trades and the 3rd series was never collected. I've corrected and added the series info.

I did a little more digging and here are the series (not including OGN or single issue specials) I found for Swamp Thing:

Series 1: Swamp Thing. 24 issues (1972-76)
Series 2: Saga of the Swamp Thing #1-38.
Renamed to Swamp Thing #39-171
(1982-96)
Series 3: Swamp Thing. #1-20 (2000-2001)
Series 4: Swamp Thing. currently ongoing at #15 (2004- )

Misc. series:
Roots of the Swamp Thing. #1-5 mini-series
Essential Vertigo: Swamp Thing. #1-24.

[JTLauder]

What about:

Unknown Soldier

Hmmm...didn't run across it on any of the Vertigo lists I initially went through.
Did a little more digging and apparently it had a really big run. I tried to include all this in the list, but apparently I exceed the 10,000 character limit for a message so I'll post the details here.


UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Series 1: First appearing in Star Spangled War Stories #151-204 (1970-1977)
Renamed to The Unknown Soldier #205-268 (1977-1982)
Series 2: #1-12 (1988-1989)
Series 3: #1-4 mini-series. Published under Vertigo logo. (1997)]

Unknown Soldier TB (Collects the 4-issue mini-series).

No Problem. Keep up the good work!

[LooksBetterDrawn]

Under MISC VERTIGO TITLES, Blood: A Tale (#1-4)

[Spiff]

Excellent list. This deserves to be stickied. The only thing I would add are authors for series where the writing teams change, such as for Swamp Thing.

Again, great list, and thanks for the compilation.

[Headhunter]

Great list!

I think Unknown Soldier is out of print...

This is an exhaustive list of Vertigo trades and the issues they contain.

Many thanks for this list. I was hunting around for something exactly like this.

~Sly

[foxfire]

Isn't the Warren Ellis graphic novel Orbiter from Vertigo? Did someone mention it? I just finished reading it and it was pretty good....

[Glaucon]

SANDMAN MYSTERY THEATRE VOL. 3: THE VAMP comes out in June.

[Rob H]

Thanks for the list. Very useful.
