Year of The Horse: Richardson & Stradley Launch New Worlds In 2014

By Kiel Phegley

Over 25 years ago, comic shop owner Mike Richardson decided to start his own publishing business, inviting employee and friend Randy Stradley along for the ride.
After telling their own tales in a number of black and white adventures, the pair's Dark Horse Comics line grew, until it turned into the market force it remains today. In the years between then and now, Richardson and Stradley have continued to recruit new talent and sign new properties to the Dark Horse line as Publisher and Senior Editor respectively, but they never stopped telling their own stories, in franchises from Star Wars to Aliens to the Comics Greatest World superhero line.
