Dark Horse Presents #133

Dark Horse Presents #133 brings together four features under one cover painted by Mike Kaluta, whose dreamy, organic composition sets a striking tone — a shirtless blond figure crouches amid twisted wreckage and lush alien vegetation, while a serene, large-scale face emerges ghostlike through a tangle of vines and exotic flora in the background. The anthology's lineup is announced right on the cover: "Carson of Venus" by Darko Macan and Peter Doherty, "The Fall" by Ed Brubaker and Jason Lutes, "Dirty Pair" by Adam Warren, and "Blue Monday" by Chynna Clugston-Major. Kaluta's painterly blend of science-fantasy atmosphere and botanical strangeness makes this 1998 installment a compelling snapshot of the rich variety DHP consistently delivered.
