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")!
from "The Hyborian Page," the letters column of Conan the Barbarian (1970 series) #266 (Marvel, March 1993), by Richard Ashford
Sadly, Conan the Barbarian was cancelled less than a year after that.

Luckily Conan was back in 1994's Conan the Adventurer*! *Cancelled in 1995.

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

With all that, I bet you can located Richard within the blink of an eye in this photgraphically accurate picture portrayal of the Marvel Pen (Bull)!

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.
