▲Founded in 1986 by a comic shop owner named Mike Richardson, Dark Horse is one of the most versatile comics companies out there.
Dark Horse publishes a little bit of everything; Indie art comics, a number of "creator-owned" series such as ''[[Hellboy (comics)|Hellboy]]'' and ''[[Sin City]]'', and even licensed comics like ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]: Season 8'' (which was their idea) and ''[[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]''. In addition, they were one of the major early publishers of English-translated [[Manga]] in the West before the [[Tokyo Pop]] boom, bringing over titles like ''[[Akira]]'', ''[[Ah! My Goddess]]'', ''[[Gunsmith Cats]]'', ''[[Hellsing]]'' and ''[[Ghost in the Shell (manga)|Ghost in The Shell]]''.
Line 6 ⟶ 8:
They even had an original universe for a short time in its ''Comics' Greatest World'' imprint,, though it was eventually dropped due to poor sales/lack of interest. They also recently gained a subset (Dark Horse Books) dedicated to non-comics and the word-based sort of book. They've also printed all sorts of other things (including a collection of ''[[Playboy]]'' interviews and even health books). It doesn't matter ''what'' it is, Dark Horse will publish it.
This open policy has been the key to Dark Horse's success, allowing them to survive the [[The Great Comics Crash of 1996|comic crash]].
One of the big five comic companies of the [[Modern Age]], alongside [[DC Comics]], [[Marvel Comics]], [[Image Comics]], and [[Archie Comics]].
