The Mask: Characters
built 359 days ago
The Mask was created by Mike Richardson for APA - 5, an amateur press publication created by writer Mark Verheiden. After starting Dark Horse Comics, Richardson pitched his concept to Marvel comic book writer/artist Mark Badger, which resulted in The Masque strip that ran in the early issues of Dark Horse Presents. Badger's strips became increasingly political, and Richardson ended the strip in order to bring the character back in line with his original concept. Artist Chris Warner was hired to revamp the character based on Richardson's original APA - 5 drawings and created the definitive look for the character. The character was given a new launch in 1989 in the pages of Mayhem #1. Aspiring writer John Arcudi and artist Doug Mahnke were hired to create the new adventures.
