Dark Horse Presents #59

Dark Horse Presents #59 delivers a striking anthology package straight from 1992, with a blood-red cover dominated by a massive, scarred figure in black clutching a knife — Frank Miller's instantly recognizable Sin City style rendered in his own hand. Flanking the central image are vignette portraits of additional characters, hinting at the issue's three distinct strips: Smith & Vincent's Alien Fire (with a reptilian creature peering from the upper corner), more work from Rick Geary, and the continued saga of Frank Miller's Sin City in its tenth episode. It's a genuinely compelling snapshot of early-'90s Dark Horse at its most creatively diverse.
