Dark Horse

Founded by comic shop owner Mike Richardson in 1986 with the publication of the anthology series Dark Horse Presents, Dark Horse Comics has gone on to become one of the biggest of all the independent publishers. They've both adapted several movies and tv series - Aliens, Predator, Terminator, Incredibles, Star Wars, Serenity, Lone Gunmen, Star Wars, Xena and Buffy among others - into successful comics, and had a number of their comics turned into movies - notably Timecop, 300, Sin City and the Mask.
