Dark Horse Presents #42

Dark Horse Presents #42 delivers a vivid anthology package, with Paul Guinan's cover art throwing a terrified blonde woman directly into the clutches of multiple Aliens — their skeletal, fang-filled forms looming from every shadow around her. The left column teases the three featured stories inside: Kings in Disguise, The Argosy, and Aliens, each previewed with a small portrait that hints at very different tones waiting between the covers. With Guinan also handling the interior art and co-writing "Part One: Advent" alongside Anina Bennett, this 1990 Mature Readers issue is a satisfying slice of what made DHP such a compelling anthology series.
