Dark Horse Presents #27

Dark Horse Presents #27 brings together three stories — "For Better or for Worse," "Homicide," and "Race of Scorpions Part V" — in one of 1989's most eclectic anthology offerings from Dark Horse. The cover by Leopoldo Durañona is a striking piece of desert adventure art: a young woman in layered traveling clothes rushes urgently forward while behind her a figure struggles beneath the mechanical legs of a giant scorpion-like machine, with a crashed vessel and arid rocky landscape stretching into the distance. It's a vivid, kinetic image that makes a strong case for picking up this issue.
