According to a Bloomberg report, Dark Horse Comics, an American publisher famous for works like Hellboy and Umbrella Academy, would be looking for a buyer. Given the success of the customizations from its IPs, it is unclear how urgent the potential sale of the publisher, which shouldn’t be in distress, is.
Society Dark Horse should actually be in good health, also given the recent opening of a gambling division. In addition to publishing comics based on its intellectual property, the publisher also sells localizations of foreign licensed works in the US, such as the Berserk manga.
The willingness to sell is not that far-fetched, however: Dark Horse Comics it would actually follow the same path as Marvel and DC Comicspurchased from Disney and Warner Bros., respectively. The entertainment giants have thus been given the opportunity to use the acquired intellectual property for film and television adaptations.
It should be noted that Bloomberg’s Scoop does not go into the details of the operation, and that Dark Horse did not respond to a request for comment from comic book. Recently we talked about Dark Horse for Berserk’s New York exhibition, organized by Kentaro Miura in honor of the author who died last May.
