As has been filling my inbox from all manner of folk, what appears to be a new logo for Dark Horse Comics. But it's been a little while coming. A familiar Dark Horse logo, the one that was originally used in the eighties and nineties, certainly, with lettering going for an eighties pixelised look, possibly to reflect that they started in 1983, along with a proud boast that, um, seems to come straight from The Big Bang Theory.

Until then, this comes from the front of the current Dark Horse Comics catalogue for comics coming in July… Dark Horse Comics was founded in 1986 by Mike Richardson as an offshoot of his comics retail chain, Things From Another World. With a goal of creating a welcoming environment for comics professionals, Dark Horse continues to publish the work of many of the greatest creators in the industry's history. Dark Horse, from its beginning, also has a track record of establishing new creative talent. Early on, the company set a new standard for quality with licensed properties, including comics, graphic novels, collectibles, and art books based on popular film and gaming properties. Dark Horse also began building a manga publishing line in the 1980s, going on to release such classics as Lone Wolf & Cub, Akira, Ghost In the Shell, Trigun, and Berserk. Richardson established Dark Horse Entertainment as a film division in 1989, finding initial success with his own creations, The Mask and Timecop. Recent hits from Dark Horse Entertainment include The Umbrella Academy on Netflix and Resident Alien on SyFy. In 2022, Dark Horse Media, LLC was established as Dark Horse became part of Embracer Group AB.
