Dark Horse's mature-readers series delivers a genuinely unsettling cover for this 1990 installment, with a hulking, dark-furred creature filling the frame — glowing yellow eyes, a massive dripping grin, and clawed hands raised toward the viewer in unmistakable menace. The story inside is titled "The Hunt For Ms October," a title that pairs intriguingly with this snarling, predatory image. Cover art by Rich Hedden and Tom McWeeney, who also handle the full creative duties within, showing a confident, unified vision for one of Dark Horse's more offbeat corners of the early indie era.
