Dark Horse Presents #7

Dark Horse Presents #7 is a 1987 Kirby Award nominee that packs three distinct features into one anthology package — Doc Abstruse, The Vitruvian Man, and Mono — each spotlighted in circular vignettes along the left side of Tony Salmons' bold cover. Center stage belongs to a blue-suited masked figure in full stride, surrounded by a collage of expressive faces: a shouting man, a blonde, a helmeted figure, a green-hooded character, a pale bald face with dark glasses, and a wild-haired figure — a striking ensemble that hints at a crowded, kinetic world within. Salmons handled pencils, inks, and the interior story "Message From Earth" solo, making this a real showcase for his versatile, energetic linework.
