Mike Richardson, Founder and CEO
Dark Horse Comics was founded by Mike Richardson with the goal of telling great stories. This idea led the publisher to spin-off Dark Horse Entertainment in 1992. The company’s first major films—THE MASK and TIMECOP — were based on Richardson’s creations and both opened #1 at the box office. DHE has since produced over 30 films and series, including the HELLBOY films, the Emmy Award–winning documentary, MR. WARMTH: THE DON RICKLES PROJECT and the Netflix series, THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY.
