Karen Berger (born February 26, 1958) is an American comic book editor. She is best known as the Executive Editor of DC Comics' Vertigo imprint. ==Biography== 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 also edited ''Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld''. 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. Her critically and popularly successful titles under that imprint include ''Fables'', ''Hellblazer'', ''The Invisibles'', ''100 Bullets'', ''Preacher'', ''V for Vendetta'', and ''Y: The Last Man''. Berger is married to Richard Bruning,〔("Chains of command unfolding at DC" ) by Heidi MacDonald for ''The Beat'', February 18, 2010. Accessed February 18, 2010.〕 who also formerly worked at DC. In 2007 Berger was named supervising editor (along with Senior Editor Shelly Bond) 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. On December 3, 2012, she announced that she would be stepping down from her post as Executive Editor & Senior Vice President of DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint and that she would remain on through March 2013 to assist in the transition to a new editorial team. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karen Berger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
