About this Collection

This collection brings together Dark Horse's early Terminator comics, featuring the 1990 'Tempest' miniseries and the 1991 'One Shot' special. Written by James Robinson with art by Matt Wagner, these stories expand on the film's universe with original conflicts involving time-traveling resistance fighters and Skynet's relentless machines. The volume offers a complete look at these foundational pre-movie-adaptation Terminator tales from the publisher's early licensed run.

In "Tempest," the original Terminator comics series delivers a high-stakes time-travel clash as two Terminators are sent back to eliminate Sarah Connor. When one arrives in San Francisco to kill the newly wed Sarah, she's protected by Ellis Ruggles—sent back by John Connor to stand guard—setting off a tense, relentless confrontation. Written by James Robinson and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Matt Wagner, the issue’s cover by Chris Warner captures the chaos of the moment.
