DARK HORSE CELEBRATES AS THEIR BOOKS MAKE A RECORD NUMBER OF YEAR END LISTS IN 2013!

In 2013, Dark Horse set records in every sense of the word. The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia topped nearly every major bestseller list and the Nielsen BookScan report! The company saw record sales in all markets, as well as at every major convention! Multiple titles sold out of first printings! New original series like Steve Niles and Dave Wachter’s Breath of Bones garnered 10 out of 10 reviews for their entire run! It didn’t stop there. Just before the new year, as critics’ year-end lists rolled in, Dark Horse found a place on nearly every one of them!

As we bid adieu to a banner year, we’d be remiss not to share one last highlight with you . . .

Ladies and gentlemen, we give you the very best of 2013!
