The annual San Diego Comic Con has traditionally been the largest gathering of comic book fans and professionals in the world. Starting in 1992, Dark Horse Comics began commemorating these events with their special San Diego Comic-Con Comics, given away for free to attendees.

The comics themselves were samplers of Dark Horse’s various current and upcoming titles. The 1993 edition, for instance, featured a short story, first appearance of John Byrne’s Danger Unlimited. Also included were short stories starring Mike Mignola’s Hellboy, Frank Miller’s Sin City, Paul Chadwick’s Concrete, and many more.
