Inside Dark Horse Comics, Part II

I worked as an editorial intern at Dark Horse Comics in Milwaukie, Oregon, during PSU’s winter term this year, and while I was there, I ended up learning more than I ever anticipated.

Interning with Sparkplug Comic Books, or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Tumblr

I knew when I decided to work towards a career in publishing that I would be satisfied with that track.
