Here's Richard heralding a return to greatness in the pages of the "new look" Conan (he now has a yellow oval around his "C")!

Sadly, Conan the Barbarian was cancelled less than a year after that.

That's okay! Richard also edits Marvel Comics Presents...whoops.

Happy birthday, Richard!
Let’s not forget that he was also one-half of the dynamite songwriting and performing duo Ashford & Simpson, which I have deduced purely from the fact that there can’t possibly be anyone else with the same last name.
