The Comics of Karen Berger : The Art of Editing
Julia Round
Contributions by Colin Beineke, Jenny Bingham-Blenk, Spencer Chalifour, Keith Friedlander, Shawn Gilmore, Richard Graham, Vincent Haddad, D. R. Hammontree, Krystal Howard, Jenette Kahn, Susan E.
Kirtley, Lee Konstantinou, Samantha Langsdale, Isabelle Licari-Guillaume, Josh Rose, and Julia Round The Comics of Karen Berger: The Art of Editing is the first scholarly volume to comprehensively examine the editorial career and creative legacy of Karen Berger, a transformative figure in the history of American comics. Edited by Colin Beineke and Shawn Gilmore, the book gathers original essays and interviews that analyze Berger’s contributions across her decades-spanning career—from her early editorial work at DC Comics to her founding of the genre-defining Vertigo imprint, and her more recent creation of Berger Books at Dark Horse. The volume positions Berger as an artistic force whose curatorial choices and collaborative ethos paved the way for complex narratives, creator ownership, gender diversity, and literary experimentation in mainstream and independent comics alike.
Organized into two parts—critical essays and interviews with visual artists, writers, and editors—this collection highlights the underappreciated but pivotal role of the editor in comics creation. The essays illuminate Berger’s early ethos in titles like Amethyst and Wonder Woman, her development of Vertigo’s brand identity, and her continued influence on contemporary comics culture. Meanwhile, interviews with key collaborators such as George Pérez, Jill Thompson, Peter Milligan, and Shelly Bond offer firsthand accounts of Berger’s editorial process, mentorship, and leadership style.
Together, these pieces not only recover Berger’s invisible labor but also challenge prevailing auteurist models of comics authorship, proposing instead an expanded framework that recognizes editors as vital cocreators. The Comics of Karen Berger redefines how we understand creativity, authorship, and power in comics, offering a compelling portrait of editorial work as artistic practice.
