Dark Horse Presents #32

Dark Horse Presents #32, published in September 1989, was part of the flagship anthology series that established Dark Horse Comics as a major force in the independent scene. Designed as a showcase for non-mainstream creators, the series provided a platform for experimental narratives and genre-defying art that often struggled to find space in the rigid landscape of the major publishers of the time.

This specific issue is notable for featuring segments of the ongoing 'Concrete' series by Paul Chadwick, which explored themes of alienation and humanity through the lens of a man trapped in a stone body. The editorial direction for the series, curated under the leadership of Mike Richardson, focused on high-quality production values and creator-owned intellectual property, leading to a positive critical reception that solidified the anthology's role as a breeding ground for iconic cult classics.
