CMYK TP

[C]yan. [M]agenta. [Y]ellow. Blac[K]. From these basic building blocks, the entire spectrum of comic book coloring is formed. Now the medium is returning the favor.

Building on the innovative tradition that has made it one of comics’ most cutting-edge imprints, VERTIGO is proud to present CMYK — a bold new anthology of original stories from dozens of the art form’s greatest creators. The short graphic fiction collected here all originates with the four process colors of comics printing, but where they go from there is as unbounded as imagination itself.

In these pages, the glacial glow of cyan bathes alien worlds and wintry city streets; the vivid splash of magenta highlights the hair of outcasts and the evil of demons; the bright light of yellow shines on old worlds ending and new lives beginning; and the enveloping void of black offers both despair and liberation.

The stunning stories and breathtaking visions of CMYK will forever color your perception of what comics can do!

Featuring work by Gene Luen Yang, Jeff Lemire, Gerard Way, Amy Chu, Jock, Fabio Moon, Francesco Francavilla, Bill Sienkiewicz and many more! Collects VERTIGO QUARTERLY: CYAN #1, VERTIGO QUARTERLY: MAGENTA #1, VERTIGO QUARTERLY: YELLOW #1 and VERTIGO QUARTERLY: BLACK #1.

Fábio Moon and Gabriel Bá are twin brothers, born in São Paulo, Brazil, where they live until this day. They have their friends there and their family; it's their home. They have been telling stories in comic book form for almost fifteen years, and their work has been published in France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Japan, Germany, as well as in the U.S. and Brazil. They like their coffee black, with no sugar, so that the taste is strong and memorable. They believe stories should taste equally strong and be just as memorable. They work with a fresh pot that's always handy in the studio to make sure they never forget that.
