- Indigo Vertigo
"Indigo Vertigo" is a 48-page graphic novella, written by
KatieJane Garside and illustrated by "Dogwitch " creator,Daniel Schaffer . It was published byImage Comics in 2005."Indigo Vertigo" is described as "the hallucinatory spectacle of one woman’s experience at the brink of reality." Fact|date=June 2007 A quote from
Warren Ellis on the back cover reads, "LikeSylvia Plath fuckingDavid Lynch ".According to Schaffer, who acknowledges a heavy influence from Lynch (and also Japanese auteur,
Shinya Tsukamoto ), the book is an experiment in subjective storytelling, and came about as the result of an unconventional, intuitive creative process developed by himself andKatieJane Garside (vocalist with extreme rock bandQueenadreena ). Fact|date=June 2007In an interview posted on comics news site The Pulse in 2005, Schaffer explains - "Indigo Vertigo" is an attempt to connect to the reader by acknowledging the demons and empty spaces that are within everybody. If you’re going to do something like that without pretension or agenda, you have to first expose the same thing from within yourself, and so this book is a glimpse of that truth, from the perspective of both Katie and myself, with a little bit of space for the reader. It’s a book designed to reach out through example, and it will come alive if you bring something of yourself to it."Fact|date=June 2007
