Dark Horse Presents

    (Dark Horse, 1986-2000)
™ and ©1986 Dark Horse Comics, Inc.

Marvel has Marvel Comics Presents; DC had DC Comics Presents; and upstart Dark Horse Comics has…well, you can guess.

Dark Horse Presents isn’t just a clone of the big two’s try-out books. For one, it’s published in a hefty black-and-white format, packing two or three times as many stories into each issue as any of its competitors. Also, the range of stories is, well, frankly amazing! A single issue may start with a terrible spoof of Dark Horse itself, move on to a gritty true-crime drama such as Sin City, switch over to a fairy tale adapted from Oscar Wilde, cut loose with a Predator tale, then return to part two of the spoof. Unbelievable!
