Dark Horse Presents #49

Dark Horse Presents #49 brings together three distinct worlds under one cover, with a tense face-off between a young man and a mustachioed figure in a wide-brimmed hat and suit — shotgun in hand — framed within a stark, industrial corridor. The sidebar teases the anthology's range, with portraits tied to "Downtown," "Harlequin," and "Homicide" hinting at the variety of stories waiting inside, including John Arcudi and Earl Geier's "Restless Sleep." Doug Mahnke's cover work renders the confrontation with cool, unsettling clarity — a fine snapshot of early-'90s Dark Horse anthology storytelling at its most varied.
