Dark Horse Presents #64

Dark Horse Presents #64 delivers a wonderfully unhinged cover by Doug Mahnke, dominated by a leering, yellow-jacketed doctor brandishing an oversized scalpel straight at the reader — that's Dr. Giggles, and the surgical tray of instruments in front of him makes his intentions cheerfully ominous. Lurking behind him are a grim-faced older man, an angry cartoon bear, and a scrappy little dog, hinting at the anthology's eclectic mix of strips including "Scraps" by Manny Coto and Alan J. Burrows. A note on the cover even teases a forthcoming Dark Horse motion picture, making this 1992 issue a fine snapshot of the publisher firing on all cylinders.
