Diana Schutz (born February 1, 1955) is a Canadian comic book editor, most notable as editor in chief of Comico during its peak years, and for her long tenure at Dark Horse Comics, for whom she worked for 25 years. "She [was] Frank Miller's editor on Sin City and 300, Matt Wagner's editor on Grendel, Stan Sakai's editor on Usagi Yojimbo, and Paul Chadwick's editor on Concrete", and known to her letter-column readers as "Auntie Dydie".
She is also an adjunct instructor of comics history and criticism at Portland Community College.
Diana Schutz was born on February 1, 1955 in Canada. She read comics as a child. By her early teens, she began drifting towards romance titles, and then away from comics altogether until college, where she studied philosophy and creative writing. Finding comics, including Steve Gerber's Howard the Duck a welcome diversion from — if ultimately not a polar opposite to — "Plato, Bertrand Russell and Immanuel Kant," she found herself pulled back into the world of comics. Frequenting the comic shop called "The ComicShop" (owned by Ken Witcher and Ron Norton) in Vancouver, British Columbia, she ultimately dropped out of graduate philosophy (with an undergraduate degree in creative writing) to move (in 1978) from being one of the ComicShop's few female customers to being one of its few "counter people," where she says she found herself "learn[ing] social skills I never learned in the ivory tower of academia."
