"Our goal was to create sequels and prequels to the films we loved, paying careful attention to quality and detail, essentially treating those films as though they were our own. Star Wars has been the crown jewel of this approach."
―Mike Richardson, on the end of Dark Horse's initial Star Wars publishing run[3]

Dark Horse Comics is a publisher of comic books that over the years has produced many licensed works, a large number of which take place in the Star Wars universe.

Publication history[]

Dark Horse began publishing comics in 1986 and first published for Star Wars with Star Wars: Dark Empire in 1991.[4] The company also republished the Marvel Star Wars comics and produced several compilations of works, including the aforementioned Marvel works, in a collection of trade paperbacks known as Star Wars Omnibus. The Omnibus imprint was also used for other fictional universes, such as Lucasfilm's Indiana Jones and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Dark Horse has a division called Dark Horse Digital, which allows customers to view comics online.

On January 3, 2014, Disney announced that the Star Wars comics license would move from Dark Horse back to Marvel in 2015.[5] After a six-year-long hiatus, it was announced on November 18, 2021, that Dark Horse would return to publishing Star Wars comics alongside Marvel in 2022. Multiple series are planned for the new program, with initial titles being part of the Star Wars: The High Republic publishing initiative[6] published in the spring of 2022. This re-launch of the Dark Horse Star Wars brand will also include one-shots, graphic novels, anthologies, and more.[7]
