Dark Horse Presents #38

Dark Horse Presents #38 was published in April 1990 as part of Dark Horse Comics' flagship anthology series. The title served as a launchpad for experimental storytelling and independent creators, allowing the publisher to showcase a variety of genres outside the traditional superhero mainstream. This specific issue reflects the series' commitment to providing a platform for diverse creative voices during the independent comics boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The issue is particularly noted for featuring work by creators such as Chris Warner and Dan Brereton. The editorial vision for the anthology was to bridge the gap between underground comix sensibilities and a more polished, professional format. Dark Horse Presents was generally well-received by critics of the era for its consistent quality and its role in fostering talent that would go on to shape modern graphic fiction, establishing the publisher as a serious competitor to established industry giants.
