Dark Horse Presents #132

Adam Warren's Dirty Pair headlines this 1998 anthology issue of Dark Horse Presents, and the cover delivers exactly the high-energy sci-fi attitude you'd expect — two sharp-eyed anime-style women strike a confident pose against a star-filled cosmos, one hefting a massive futuristic cannon while the other flashes a peace sign and holds up a "Blood Card." Warren's fluid, manga-influenced linework (with inks shared by Dave Cooper) makes the duo practically leap off the page. Rounding out the issue are additional strips including "Dan & Larry" and "The Fall" by Ed Brubaker and Jason Lutes, making this a nicely packed package for fans of genre-spanning sequential art.
