SKREEMER, a six-issue mini-series published by DC Comics in 1989, will see new life later this year in a collected edition from Vertigo.
The mini-series, written by Peter Milligan, with art by Brett Ewins and Steve Dillon, originally was published as a mature readers, DC Comics title. Its post-apocalyptic, crime-riddled plot prefigured some of the central themes explored in the Vertigo line.
"SKREEMER was ahead of its time," says Karen Berger, VP - Executive Editor, Vertigo. "It was one of the first creator-owned projects DC published, and it's one we've always wanted to collect. With Peter's popularity increasing, thanks to his work on X-FORCE and the excitement around the new HUMAN TARGET graphic novel, this seemed like the best possible time to publish it. We're thrilled to be collecting this Eagle-award winning series."
Berger describes the project as "THE SOPORANOS meets FINNEGAN'S WAKE." The series tells the story of Veto Skreemer, a ruthless but haunted gangster who rules a distopian America in the time that is known only as the "Era of the Gangs."
