Oregon Movies, A to Z

Dark Horse Comics founder Mike Richardson is being given a (super)hero’s welcome in the hometown he never left. From June 18  to June 23,  JC Lillie Performing Arts Center (11300 SE 23rd Avenue in Milwaukie) hosts an exhibit of original comic art boards and memorabilia from Richardson’s personal collection of original art by some of the most well known comic book artists in the world.

Here’s more information. The exhibit will be up for only one week.

Mike Richardson entered Oregon film history when he executive produced his first film, pretty much in his own backyard. He must have liked the work. Since that time, he has collected an impressive set of Hollywood credentials.

Starstruck Oregonians who want to hobnob with Richardson (no relation)  get a chance on June 19, when he will give a personal tour of the Hometown Superhero exhibit. Tickets here.
