Introduction The following are projects by Peter Milligan, quite a good writer. Though capable of more mainstream, simplistic work, Milligan's more personal work tends to be slightly crazy, odd stories finely written with, at best, some considerable literary and philosophical stakes. These projects are as follows: Enigma The Minx Vertigo Pop! London Following these is a list of other sites of interest.

Enigma Enigma was one of the first new projects published by what was then DC's new Vertigo imprint. An eight-issue finite series, it featured stream-of-consciousness narration that actually worked. Indirectly concerning super-heroes, or at least super-powers, Enigma concluded with another grand narrative coup: the entire tale had been narrated by a lizard raised in the conclusion to super-consciousness, trapped trying to communicate to the other, stupid lizards. Moreover, the story would repeat, making the narrative circular. Some readers were troubled by the homosexuality that the narrative explored, but that subject was tastefully and artistically done, leading to profound statements about identity, its maleability, and the implications of occupying a changed position of identity. Enigma stands as a classic of graphic literature, professional and under-rated.

Vertigo Pop! London was a part of Vertigo's Vertigo Pop! line of mini-series, begun in 2002. In fact, London was the second to be published, Vertigo Pop! Tokyo having concluded the month before London began. While perhaps a gimmick, the Vertigo Pop! rubric at best provided an excuse for good mini-series in the classic Vertigo style, the only constraints on the writer seeming to be the setting and implicit national themes.
For London, Milligan crafted a story of Rocky Lamont, a used-up rock musician whose hayday in the 1960s had long since past, and Sean Cody, a young and fairly talentless rock musician. Having wasted his life, the has-been with the young lithe wife, the daughter sleeping with the young musician, and the old ex-wife who he abandonned decides to follow the advice his own younger self sent to him via film reel: to exhange bodies. The series was great fun, full of delightful characters involved in a plot that didn't take itself so seriously -- but that nonetheless told a story about the lives and personalities of stereotypical characters thrown into unusual circumstances. I loved it.
