Dark Horse Presents #89

Dark Horse Presents #89 brings together three distinct stories under one anthology roof, with the cover spotlighting a brooding, red-skinned Hellboy in his trenchcoat — rendered in Mike Mignola's signature stark, shadow-heavy style — while circular portrait medallions along the left side preview the issue's other features: Baden by Alexander and McCallum, and Paleolove by Gary Davis. Mignola continues "The Wolves of Saint August" in Part Two, and his cover work alone — that looming close-up of Hellboy's filed-down horns and BPRD badge — sets a mood of quiet menace that's hard to shake. A fine 1994 snapshot of Dark Horse's anthological ambition, with Mignola's demon detective front and center.
