In addition to Berger, several other editors have become linked to the imprint. Berger was editing proto-Vertigo titles from the start of her time with DC, beginning in 1981 with "House of Mystery". She took over editorship of Alan Moore's "Swamp Thing" run from Swamp Thing co-creator Len Wein in 1984, and in 1986 "became DC's British liaison," bringing to DC's pre-Vertigo titles the individuals who would be instrumental in the creation and evolution of Vertigo seven years later. From 1988, her "Swamp Thing" and other DC titles were joined by Gaiman and McKean's "Black Orchid" miniseries and "Hellblazer" as well as the odd miniseries "The Weird". Editing Doug Moench's "The Wanderers", Berger was joined on issue #5 (Oct 1988) by co-editor Art Young, who would also later be instrumental in the formation of Vertigo. Grant Morrison's "Animal Man" and the ultra-dark "Arkham Asylum" OGN were swiftly joined on Berger's slate by "The Sandman", "Skreemer", "The Books of Magic", "The Nazz" and "Shade, the Changing Man". Berger continued with "The Sandman" and "Shade" during 1992, and saw the pre-Vertigo titles as "all some basis in reality."
