Previews Presents Queens of Halloween Ashcan

In 1996, Diamond Comic Distributors released this single-issue ashcan as a promotional sampler for their "Previews" catalog, spotlighting writer Brian Pulido and artist Justiniano's take on a Halloween-themed queen. A brief, self-contained artifact of the mid-90s direct market, it offers a moody, horror-tinged vignette rather than an ongoing story. Though its run was limited to just one issue, it stands as a snapshot of the era's fascination with dark, supernatural heroines and the distributor's role in shaping what comic shops ordered.
