Sweet Tooth is a comic book series created by Jeff Lemire, published by DC Comics. It was first published in 2009 under DC's Vertigo imprint, known for its mature and often darker stories.
While the series is owned by DC Comics, it's important to note that it's not part of the mainstream DC Universe. Vertigo, the imprint under which Sweet Tooth was published, is known for its independent stories, often exploring complex themes and mature content.
Here's a quick breakdown:
- Sweet Tooth: Published by DC Comics (Vertigo imprint)
- DC Universe: Mainstream DC characters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman
- Vertigo: Independent stories, often mature and dark, not part of the DC Universe
The Netflix adaptation of Sweet Tooth also features the same characters and storyline as the comic book series.
Therefore, Sweet Tooth is a DC Comics property.
