Dark Horse Presents #122

Dark Horse Presents #122 spotlights "The Lords of Misrule," and Peter Snejbjerg's cover makes an immediate impression — a wild-eyed, grinning ghoul in a black coat holds out a blood-dripped teacup with unsettling hospitality, surrounded by skulls, bottled curiosities, and scattered bones in what looks like a macabre workshop. The fiery, flaming logo above and the three preview thumbnails along the left edge (teasing Jack Zero, Imago, and Trout) remind readers that Dark Horse Presents continued to be one of 1997's best anthology showcases. If you enjoy your horror with a twisted sense of dark humor, this one's hard to resist.
