Okay, my favorite superhero of all time, ignoring the many Dark Horse characters, is Superman. Boring answer, huh? My favorite villain can be found in the Marvelman series by Alan Moore. You'll have to look if you want to find his name.

Well, it feels great.

I call it thriving on chaos.

I spent years searching for the comics I liked coming from Japan. I was a big fan of Japanese pop culture. I was lucky enough to become friends with Kuzuo Koike and as a result was able to bring Lone Wolf and Cub to America properly.

A good translator is a key to the process. I'll tell you a secret. When Dark Horse was barely a year old, I secured the rights to the latest Japanese Godzilla book. The company at the time was basically Randy Stradley and myself. We did not know where to go to find a translator, so we divided the book into six issues and I took issues 1,3, and 5 home while Randy took issues 2,4,and 6. We "made-up" our translations by looking at the panels. That is how we "adapted" the book. Surprisingly enough, we were pretty close to the actual translation.

And thanks for the nice words.

Everyone?

I once promised in a promotion calling for submissions that I would personally look at and respond to every submission. It took me over a year to go through all of the projects I receive. If you want to send directly to me, I guarantee I will end up looking at it and responding. I won't guarantee how timely that response will be.

We have submission requirements on our website. Or you can come to a comics convention and stick it into my hands.

If you have talent, the odds are high you will get noticed. Have you thought of setting up your own website? We've found a number of projects and creators by searching the net.

Have you? Do you have needs that way?
