Dark Horse Comics is an American comic book and manga publisher. It was founded in 1986 by Mike Richardson in Milwaukie, Oregon, with the concept of establishing an ideal atmosphere for creative professionals. Richardson started out by opening his first comic book store, Pegasus Books, in Bend, Oregon, in 1980. From there he was able to use the funds from his retail operation to start his own publishing company. ''Dark Horse Presents'' and ''Boris the Bear'' were the two initial titles in 1986 and within one year of its first publication, Dark Horse Comics added nine new titles to its roster, including ''The American'', ''The Mark'', ''Trekker'', and ''Black Cross''. Frank Miller's ''Sin City'' is one of the most famous works associated with Dark Horse, and it has become something of a token comic to the publishing house. In 2011, ''Dark Horse Presents'' relaunched including the return of Paul Chadwick's ''Concrete'' and Steve Niles' ''Criminal Macabre'', as well as new talent including Sanford Greene, Carla Speed McNeil, Nate Crosby and others. ==Overview== Dark Horse publishes many licensed comics, including comics based on ''Star Wars'', ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'', ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', ''Aliens'', ''Predator'', ''Mass Effect'', ''Dragon Age'', ''Conan'' and ''Who Wants to be a Superhero?'' Dark Horse also publishes creator owned comics such as Frank Miller's ''Sin City'' and ''300'', Mike Mignola's ''Hellboy'', Stan Sakai's ''Usagi Yojimbo'', Gerard Way's ''Umbrella Academy'', and Michael Chabon's ''The Escapist''. Today, the comic arm of the company flourishes despite no longer having its own universe of superpowered characters. Dark Horse also published the English translation of ''The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia'' in 2013. Like Dell and Gold Key, Dark Horse was one of the few major American publishers of comic books never to display the Comics Code Authority seal on its covers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dark Horse Comics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
