Karen Berger
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karen Berger is the editor of DC Comics' Vertigo imprint, and one of the 1990s' most influential comic book editors.
Berger majored in English literature and art history while in college. She entered the comics profession in 1979 at DC, as an assistant to editor Paul Levitz. She later became Levitz' editor on the Legion of Super-Heroes. She helped craft the Swamp Thing book, editing the writing of Alan Moore, and helped bring Neil Gaiman's work to a mass audience by having him write The Sandman. The success of these titles, and her willingness to help the writers who worked with her push the envelope of what could be done in mass-circulation comic books, led to the creation of the Vertigo line.
She won the Inkpot Award in 1990, three Eisner Awards (1993,1994 and 1995), and the Comics Buyer's Guide Award for Favorite Editor every year from 1997 through 2005.
