The Origins of Dark Horse Comics
The story of Dark Horse Comics began in 1980 when Mike Richardson opened Pegasus Books. It started out as a small comic bookstore in Bend, Oregon.
As the business expanded, more retail locations in Oregon and Washington State were added. And Pegasus was looking for quality in the content.
Driven by a desire to improve the industry, Richardson decided to start his own publishing company, using funds from his retail operations.
