Nearly thirty years ago, Dark Horse arrived with an agenda different
from that of any other publisher in comics. The young company was
founded on the belief that comics creators should have the option to
retain the rights to their own work, and it continues to be a highly
fertile breeding ground for new characters, concepts, and more! Now, the
publisher is poised to make headlines again with some of the biggest
news about new original work since Frank Miller brought Sin City to the
pages of Dark Horse Presents! Join panelists for an exclusive look at
upcoming and unannounced creator-owned work from some of the biggest
names in and outside the industry! This will be the comics panel
everyone will be talking about at this year’s show!
