Dark Horse - star wars publisher

Dark Horse Comics is a publishing company that produces comic books and graphic novels. It was founded in 1986 in Milwaukie, Oregon by Mike Richardson. In the early years, Dark Horse primarily focused on horror and science fiction comics, but over time they expanded their offerings to include a wide range of genres.
One of Dark Horse's most significant contributions to the world of comics has been their partnership with Lucasfilm to produce Star Wars comics. The collaboration began in 1991 and lasted for over 20 years, producing some of the most popular and highly regarded Star Wars comics of all time.
Dark Horse's Star Wars comics covered a wide range of storylines, from adaptations of the original trilogy to original stories set in the Star Wars universe. One of their most popular series was the ongoing series Star Wars: Legacy, which was set 125 years after the events of the original trilogy and followed the adventures of a new generation of Jedi.
In addition to their Star Wars comics, Dark Horse has also published comics set in other popular franchises such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Aliens, and Predator. They have also been a home for creator-owned comics, giving writers and artists the opportunity to publish their own original work.
In 2014, Disney acquired Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise, leading to the end of Dark Horse's partnership with Lucasfilm. While Dark Horse no longer publishes Star Wars comics, they continue to produce a wide range of comics and graphic novels across many genres. They have also partnered with other major entertainment companies, including Netflix and Amazon, to produce comics based on their original content.
Overall, Dark Horse has had a significant impact on the world of comics, particularly in the areas of science fiction and fantasy. Their partnership with Lucasfilm to produce Star Wars comics remains one of their most significant contributions to the medium.
