John Ney Reiber has produced most of his output for Vertigo, working exclusively for the company between 1994 and 2000. Reiber wrote the first fifty issues of the first ongoing "The Books of Magic" series (May 1994 – July 1998), as well as a number of miniseries, mostly set in the wider Vertigo universe (and particularly the Sandman/Books of Magic sections) – "Mythos: The Final Tour" (1996–7), "Hellblazer/The Books of Magic" (1997–8), "The Trenchcoat Brigade" (1999), "The Books of Faerie: Molly's Story" (1999). Reiber's "Shadows Fall" (with artist John Van Fleet) was a self-created horror story grounded in a reality which made the tale "all the more creepy than if the story was played out in the realm and scope of superheroes." Reiber's "Tell Me Dark", produced for DC, was collected in softcover by Vertigo, and he also contributed to various anthologies.
