Okay guys, I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of all DC's 'Suggested for Mature Readers' titles that were NOT grandfathered into Vertigo. I'm talking books that were published under DC mainline, not various imprints. Here's what I found so far, feel free to add to the list...
Okay guys...
Caper (2003)
12 issues
Catwoman (1989)
4 issues
Gilgamesh II (1989)
4 issues
Lobo vol 1 und 2
Haywire (1988)
13 issues
Lot 13 (2012)
5 issues
Mighty Love (2013)
1 issue
OMAC (1991)
4 issues
Slash Maraud (1987)
6 issues
Tailgunner Jo (1988)
6 issues
Twilight (1990)
3 issues
Wasteland (1987)
18 issues
World Without End (1990)
6 issues
Some really obscure stuff in here.
...
Justice, Inc. (1989)
2 issues
...
Most of these look awesome,
Blackhawk (1989)
15 issues
You forgot the big ones like Question, Green Arrow and Watchmen.
I don't think Watchmen and Question had the "suggested for mature readers" thing in the cover though (not sure about Green Arrow). There's also Miller's Ronin.
GRIFFITH!!
Ms.Tree Quarterly (1990)
10 issues
Why was the New52 era aesthetic so FUCKING SHIT?
This book is the goddamn best, feels like it's straight out of 2000AD or Heavy Metal.
The Question only started to carry it after the while. Grell's Green Arrow def started out with the label but later dropped it.
It did
... Tommy?
Sonic Disruptors (1987)
7 issues
...
Ah, I didn't remember. Did Watchmen have it at any point?
I'm not OP btw, just to be clear.
Later issues of Vigilante. Looks like that started at issue 39.
Butcher (1990)
5 issues
Those Mike Baron Deadman stories.
I want to party with these guys.
...
...
This just got rereleased as a hardcover recently by Dover. Worth picking up?
...
I'm guessing most of these are out of print....
Nothing is out of print on the Internet!
It's nice to see DC willing to take risks again with Young Animal.

The original did not, Before Watchmen carried a 'Rated M' on the cover tho, not that it really matters.
I just grabbed Butcher from the pastebin in the win-o
If you like 2000 AD type stuff.
It went Vertigo.
How is this? anyone read it?
Bitch to be you right now
Ostrander's Spectre?
