You don’t often find a job listed for comic book editor. They rarely pop up and often are handled via inside search as opposed to an actual job listing.

Now DC’s posted one: they want an Editor for the DC Editorial department to “manage a line of editorial product within the DC Universe imprint.”

It’s for a minimum of 5 monthly titles (and please hope that one of them is not yet another relaunch of Metamorpho).

You’ll be handling the creative process “from conception through publication.” That means not just the talent stuff, but also schedules, budgets, quality and goodies like that.

As always, you’ll be required to seek “ways to keep ongoing series fresh and exciting” and “identify and develop new editorial products for the DC Universe.”

Lots of job requirements as you might expect, including experience doing this kind of thing before. Domestic travel is 5% of the job, which probably means a trip to San Diego for CCI in 2011.

Good luck, job seekers!
