Richard Horie is an artist who has worked on many comics, mostly as a penciller and colorist, but also as writer and inker. Biography Richard Horie has worked in almost every field as a comics creator, from writer and penciller to inker and colorist, the latter of which he (with wife Tanya) is perhaps now best known. Richard, according to The Best author Heidi MacDonald once worked for Disney in some capacity, but his first known comics credits appear in the mid-1990s for Image Comics. In October 1992, he wrote and pencilled part of Brigade #2, alongside writers Hank Kanalz and Eric Stephenson, writer/artist Rob Liefeld and penciller Marat Mychaels. He penciled and inked for Stephenson several times over the next year, on titles including Supreme, various Youngblood titles, Brigade, Bloodstrike and Deathmate. He provided inks for an issue of Jim Valentino's ShadowHawk, and was one of several writers and artists to contribute to the "Extreme" preview created for Hero Illustrated magazine, touting Liefeld's Image imprint Extreme Studios. Richard's work for Extreme continued along similar lines to his earlier image work, pencilling issues of Bloodstrike, Brigade, Chapel, Prophet and Operation Knightstrike amongst others. When Rob Liefeld split from Image Comics, many of his "Extreme" creators moved with him to work under the Maximum Press banner, and Richard Horie was one such individual. Providing pencils for Robert Napton's "Battlestar Galactica" in Maximum Press's Asylum #2 and #3, Horie was also one of many pencillers to work on Alan Moore's reinvention of Liefeld's universe, providing pencils for Supreme #44 (Maximum Press), and color (with wife Tanya) for a back-up to Supreme #54 (Awesome). The two also added color to Jeph Loeb's take on the Fighting American in the Awesome Holiday Special (1997), and inked and colored the Liefeld/Loeb Re:Gex #1. Now focusing solely on coloring, the two colored Mike Deodato Jr.'s pencils and inks for a couple of issues of Chaos! Comics' Lady Death, as well as Coven and Jada Pinkett Smith's Menace for Awesome, before coming to work almost-exclusively for DC Comics in December, 1998. Coloring In recent years, (from approximately November/December 1997), he and his wife Tanya have focused primarily on coloring comics together. Initially, the two worked on a handful of comics published by Rob Liefeld's Awesome Entertainment (where Richard had previously penciled/inked issues of various titles) until Christmas 1998, whereupon they moved almost-completely to coloring comics in the
