Dark Horse Presents #8

Dark Horse's acclaimed anthology returns with issue #8, a 1987 Kirby Award nominee that spotlights three features — Roma, Vitruvian Man, and Concrete. Paul Chadwick's cover is a striking underwater tableau: a massive, shadowy figure with an eerily glowing blue face looms amid a dense, swirling school of fish rendered in cool blues and yellows, suggesting something ancient and vast beneath the surface. Chadwick both writes and draws the Concrete story "Water God" here, making this a showcase issue for his distinctive vision of a character equally at home in strange, elemental worlds.
