Australia-Dave has talked about how many Vertigo titles have broken through into movies or TV series, but again, I don't see how that's unique to Vertigo. Marvel and DC have broken through for decades into box-office topping movies and TV series and animated series. And in the acclaim department, Dark Horse has also done that for close to 30 years with movies like The Mask, Sin City, Men In Black, 300, Mystery Men, Hellboy, Hellboy II, Golden Army and others.
It might be a percentage game. Out of hundreds, if not thousands, of characters DC and Marvel had a half dozen or a dozen turn into hit movies. Whereas, vertigo may have had a half dozen or a dozen characters turned into hit movies but that was a huge percentage of their overall output.
