Is it common for writers at DC to hire their own editors to make sure their work is being done properly before publishing? That just sounds like the sort of thing any halfway professional company would do on their own without requiring their of their people.

I will add too that she did a great job in the issues of Fables that I was able to get.

No, it isn’t common and shouldn’t be.

I was told, at DC, that they couldn't give a formal credit to someone they didn't have a contract with (i.e., inking assistants, etc.), but they could do "special thanks" type credits.

Yeah, they won’t do it. Back when Mark Doyle was part of the project (he was actually the first to propose the 20th anniversary Fables books) he promised to look into it, but was shown the door before anything came of it. The new crop, and the new, new crop after him so far don’t seem to even know who to ask.
