Dark Horse Presents #78

Dark Horse Presents #78 brings together three distinct stories under one striking cover painted by Charles Vess, where a towering, fur-covered giant looms over a elegantly dressed woman who stands her ground with quiet defiance. The three circular portraits along the left side preview the anthology's variety — a square-jawed figure for Eddie Campbell's "Hermes versus the Eyeball Kid," a Renaissance-styled woman for Gary Davis's "Paleolove," and a shadowed skull-like face for "King Henry" by Yolen and Vess. It's a beautifully composed 1993 anthology package that showcases Dark Horse's commitment to giving bold, diverse voices room to stretch out.
