Dark Horse Presents #22

Dark Horse Presents #22 brings together three of the anthology's ongoing features — Trekker, Reflections, and Concrete — under one striking 1988 cover by Paul Chadwick. That cover is a delight: a massive, pale humanoid creature (unmistakably Concrete) walks through a mountain village path laden with a bright red-and-blue backpack, while a startled young boy in the foreground reacts with wide-eyed surprise and a crowd of colorful locals looks on with equal astonishment. The "Goodwill Ambassador" story title pairs perfectly with the scene's mix of wonder and gentle humor, making this issue a fine showcase of the warm, imaginative storytelling that defined Dark Horse's anthology format.
