Vertigo originated in 1993 under the stewardship of Karen Berger, a Brooklyn College graduate with a degree in English Literature and a minor in Art History, who had joined DC Comics in 1979 as an assistant to editor Paul Levitz. By the mid-1980s, Berger, then editor of such DC titles as Wonder Woman and Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, began assigning writers from the U.K. These included Neil Gaiman, whom she met in 1987 on a talent-scouting trip, as well as Peter Milligan and Grant Morrison. She "found their sensibility and point of view to be refreshingly different, edgier and smarter" than those of most American comics writers, and worked with them and others on the superhero/science fiction series Animal Man, Doom Patrol vol. 3, and Shade, the Changing Man vol. 2; the Black Orchid miniseries (Neil Gaiman's first work for DC), the fantasy series The Sandman vol. 2, and the horror titles Hellblazer and The Saga of the Swamp Thing, that last written by Alan Moore, a British writer inherited from previous editor Len Wein.
