Dark Horse Comics

In the early 1990s, Dark Horse Comics published a 25-issue anthology series that brought together licensed sci-fi and action icons like the Predator, Xenomorph, RoboCop, and James Bond. Writers Randy Stradley, Eric Luke, and Sarah Byam, alongside artists Howard Cobb, David Roach, and Rick Leonardi, crafted standalone stories that let these characters cross paths or star in their own adventures. It was a playground for fans of pulp, horror, and blockbuster action, showcasing Dark Horse’s knack for giving licensed properties a gritty, cinematic edge.
