Visionary writer/artist Paul Pope (THB, THE BATMAN CHRONICLES) brings his distinctive sense of design and storytelling to a bold VERTIGO miniseries, printed in a retrofuturistic blend of 2 colors: indigo and red. Set in futuristic Manhattan, the post-modern mystery centers on an atypical detective known only as "S" who's addicted to "Heavy Liquid," a bizarre substance that is simultaneously a drug and an art form. Hired to locate the one artist who can render the mysterious substance into the perfect sculpture ? a sculptress who, incidentally, is "S"'s long-estranged lover ? the detective's quest takes him from the gritty streets of New York to the turbulent, romantic sidewalks of Paris. Along the way, the suave but blundering antihero faces danger from a trio of masked clowns, a hard-nosed criminal called "the Cleaner," and his crippling addiction to the Liquid itself.
