Karen Berger

4.2/5 ( ratings)
Born
February 27 1958
Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the GoodReads database with this name. See this thread for more information.

Berger majored in English literature and art history at Brooklyn College, and upon her graduation in 1979, she entered the comics profession as an assistant to editor Paul Levitz at DC. She later became Levitz's editor when he was writing Legion of Super-Heroes. More interested in horror comics, she soon became editor of House of Mystery, and was instrumental in nurturing Alan Moore's Swamp Thing book, taking over the editing from co-creator Len Wein. She later 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 mature-reader Vertigo line in 1993.

In 2007 Berger was named supervising editor of Minx, a new comic book imprint published by DC. Minx published comics and graphic novels aimed at teenage girls until they were cancelled in 2008.

Berger won the Inkpot Award in 1990, three Eisner Awards , and the Comics Buyer's Guide Award for Favorite Editor every year from 1997 through 2005.

Awards:

* 1992 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards - Winner - Best Editor:
* 1993 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards - Nominee - Best Editor:
* 1994 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards - Winner - Best Editor:
* 1995 Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards - Winner - Best Editor:
