Does Dark Horse offer internships?

Dark Horse offers unpaid editorial internships on a limited basis. Internships may be offered for spring, summer, fall, and winter terms and last approximately three months. 1-2 positions are offered per term. To qualify for the internship, applicants must receive college or university credit for the program. Interns will be expected to work two eight-hour days per week and keep normal office hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PST), including a lunch break. These days will be scheduled upon acceptance to the program.

Internships are conducted in person two days a week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at our offices in Milwaukie, OR. Intern responsibilities include, but are not limited to: maintaining editorial files, researching reference material, managing internal paperwork, utilizing databases and digital resources, reviewing creative materials, maintaining quality control, and proofreading. Candidates should have excellent communication skills across multiple platforms (email, chat, Zoom, in person), strong organizational and administrative capabilities, basic computer skills, and the ability to work independently. And of course, applicants should have a strong interest in the creation, production, and publication of comics!

To apply, send a resume, cover letter, and information on your college or university’s internship credit requirements to internships@darkhorse.com. Mailed physical applications or applications sent via Handshake, LinkedIn, or similar services will NOT be accepted.
