1986, Mike Richardson, a comic shop owner in Milwauikie, Oregon launched Dark Horse
Comics with the release of the appropriately named Dark Horse Presents, a black
and white anthology comic that would change comics forever, and I honestly mean
that. Within a few short years, Dark Horse comics would be a force to be
reckoned with the comic industry, producing some of the greatest comics the
world has ever seen. With mature, compelling stories from some of the greatest
comic creators in the world, Dark Horse published an incredible package of
graphic storytelling that pushed the comic book medium into new territory.
Whether it was licensed properties like Star Wars, RoboCop, Aliens, Predator,
and the Terminator. Or creator owned comics from comic legends like Paul
Chadwick’s Concrete, John Byrne’s Next Men, Frank Miller’s Sin City, Mike
Mignola’s Hellboy, Mike Baron & Steve Rude’s Nexus, Stan Sakai’s Usagi
Yojimbo, or Eric Powell’s Goon. Dark Horse comics produced the best comic books
on the racks. And so I'm here to celebrate that rich 35 year comic publishing history in podcast form!</span><p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Welcome to another episode of Dark Horse Presents, the

I was looking for notes I knew I had made for really my gateway to the larger Marvel Universe and Jack Kirby's work, the 3rd book in the Marvel/Fireside Book collection (and my personal favorite), "Bring on the Bad Guys." And then I remembered why I had such extensive notes on it, I wrote an article on it 7 or 8 years ago, first for my Local Comic Shop, a combination coffee & comic shop appropriately named Cup O' Kryptonite. At the time I was living and working in Des Moines area, and my articles, or Retro Reviews as they were called, eventually got posted on the Outhousers Comic Website. These were the days of the New 52 launch, and the Outhousers site was getting ton of digital foot traffic due to their fantastic "How Long Has it Been Since DC Did Something Stupid" clock. </p><p>My Local Shop owner, Matt, was a frequent contributor to the site, commenting on buying trends and general industry woes that he was experiencing as a small comic shop owner selling physical comics in an ever changing industry that was migrating more and more product to digital platforms (hey 7-8 years later, shop owners are still trying to deal with this, the more things change...). Anyway, in addition to writing for the Outhousers, he also put out a weekly newsletter/email to all of his pull list subscribers, highlighting what books were supposed to arrive this week, often spotlighting creator owned and Independent/creator own press books, and trying to get his readers to branch out and experience more of what the comics medium had to offer outside of just superheroes from Marvel and DC. And he was very successful at it! It was the peak of comic book reading, never had I been buying & reading more comics than I was during that fateful time (not having kids yet was a major contributor to the flexible time & money I had for such reading endeavors). The shop was fantastic, in fact, they got a 3rd place finish in <a href="http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/news/dark-horse-presents-10-release-party-contest">DHP #10 Release Party</a>, meaning I got a cover of Thomas Yeates' Tarzan variant cover for Dark Horse Presents #10, signed by Mike Richardson, for free! Sweet! (<a href="https://www.darkhorse.com/Blog/831/jetpack-comics-wins-mike-richardson-comes-your-sto">Richardson Comes to Your Store Finals</a>)</p><p>Anyway, back to the weekly newsletter. Matt was constantly trying to get his readers to branch out to new stuff, but some people just love their superheroes, and weren't looking to venture into some of the deeper themed books available from Avatar, Image, Vertigo, etc. So with a growing number of customers who likewise had a growing amount of discontent for the material published by Marvel & DC, Matt was looking for something to re-engage those readers and keep their business. So I pitched him the idea of a retro review, where I write something each week to spotlight a classic run, that is available in trade or hardcover, that these discontented readers could dive into and enjoy in lieu of the monthly superhero offering from the Big 2 that no longer grabbed them. Thus Kyle's Retro Reviews were born. Matt went on to share these with his editor at The Outhousers, who in turn loved the idea, and thus, they soon popped up there as well! This was a short term thing, as that editor soon left the site, but those articles remain there for eternity to read, and thus, they are linked below!</p><p>I'll probably also take those and repost them here in their own subsequent posts, just as an archive of my writing from 2011-2013ish, should that site ever go down or choose to eliminate them. The Outhousers is already down from a no more new content since, their archive search feature is not great, so I'm already having issues locating all of the reviews of mine that they originally ran, so definitely some value added in making them their own posts. Anyway, here's what I could find.

This particular issue was a Legion of Superheroes adventure that marked their debut into the DCAU.

<br />
Another episode covering a mid 90's DC book is this episode where I jump into New Gods #12, which marks a bold new direction for the series when John Byrne takes over both writing and art duties on the series.

Next up, was an episode where I shared my love for Kirby's Silver Age Thor work at Marvel, and give a rundown of the crazy web of Thor reprints in the Bronze Age.

In the episode I also tackle some classic issues of Invaders starring the British super-team the Crusaders, a team made of Golden Age Quality Comics Analogs, with a Nedor/Standard Fightin' Yank analog thrown in for good measure.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's the end of the month of May, which means one thing, Kyle is rushing to upload old episodes to justify the cost he pays libsyn monthly to host the podcast! That means you get a load of episodes dropped at all once!</span></span><br />
