PhotoA prominent DC Comics editor, Eddie Berganza, who guided several of the company’s most successful series, was fired on Monday after former co-workers said he had forcibly kissed or groped them in the 2000s. Mr. Berganza, who recently oversaw the best-selling “Dark Knights: Metal” series and had previously led the “Superman” series, was fired three days after BuzzFeed News published an article with the women’s accusations. “Warner Bros and DC Entertainment have terminated the employment of DC Comics Group Editor Eddie Berganza,” DC Entertainment said in a statement. “We are committed to eradicating harassment and ensuring that all employees, as well as our freelance community, are aware of our policies, are comfortable reporting any concerns and feel supported by our company.”Mr. Berganza joins a growing list of men to experience professional repercussions after accusations against Harvey Weinstein vaulted sexual harassment and assault to the top of public attention. He did not immediately respond to a message on Facebook seeking comment.
