Dark Horse Presents #131

Dark Horse Presents #131 brings Gilbert Hernandez's playful sensibility front and center, with a cover he both penciled and inked himself. Three boldly drawn women — one winged and perched atop holding a lit stick, one in a cape leaning in close, and one in a tiger-striped outfit striking a pose — all surround a battered, wide-eyed little robot that looks equal parts bewildered and smitten. It's a charming, irreverent image that sets the tone perfectly for an anthology packed with variety, including Hernandez's own "The Lovesick Machine" alongside contributions from Ed Brubaker, Jason Lutes, Dave Cooper, and Tony Nixy.
