Jon J Muth, a painter, has produced several lavish volumes for Vertigo, including writing, penciling, inking and coloring the 1998 one-shot "Swamp Thing: Roots". Primarily, his Vertigo output has been in collaboration with JM DeMatteis, an issue of "Blood: A Tale", the maxiseries "Moonshadow" (and its coda, "Farewell, Moonshadow" (1997)) and three issues of "Seekers into the Mystery". Muth painted Grant Morrison's "The Mystery Play" (1994) and the 2002 "Lucifer: Nirvana" special for Mike Carey. His work also effectively ended Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series, Muth painting issue #74, the final issue of "" storyline, and second-to-last main issue.
