Dark Horse Presents #111

Dark Horse Presents #111 spotlights "The Ninth Gland Part 5," written and drawn entirely by Renée French. Eric White's cover painting immediately commands attention — five oversized, eerily wide-eyed figures crowd the frame, two gazing up from the foreground while a looming, upside-down face clutches a blunt object and a needle from above, with a small creature dangling nearby. It's the kind of unsettling, dreamlike imagery that made Dark Horse Presents such a reliable home for distinctive, boundary-pushing work in 1996.
