Richard Horie is an American comics creator who has built a substantial career across multiple roles in the industry — penciller, colorist, inker, and occasional writer — demonstrating a versatility that has kept him consistently employed across more than three decades of work. Active since 1992 and continuing into the mid-2020s, Horie has accumulated credits on nearly 500 issues, making him one of the more quietly prolific contributors to mainstream superhero comics.
Supreme #42 (1996)
His work has been concentrated largely within the DC Comics universe, where he has made significant contributions to flagship titles including Superman, Adventures of Superman, Superboy, and Wonder Woman. His tenure on Teen Titans further cemented his reputation as a reliable collaborator on ensemble superhero books, while his work on the unconventional series Dial H demonstrated a willingness to engage with more offbeat material within the DC line.
Aquaman #50 (1998)
Though Horie has occasionally stepped into writing duties, he is primarily recognized as an artist and colorist, and it is in the latter capacity that much of his most sustained work appears. Coloring is a craft that often goes underappreciated by casual readers, yet it shapes mood and visual coherence in fundamental ways, and Horie's long association with major titles speaks to the trust editors have placed in his contributions. Specific birthdate and location information, along with award recognition, are not currently documented in available records.
