Dark Horse recently revealed the covers for the upcoming Dark Horse Presents #2, out June 22, 2011, but what they didn’t reveal was what was going to be inside. Wouldn’t you like to know? You would?? Ok!
Well, in addition to the covers (one above by Neal Adams, one after the cut by Sanford Greene), you’ll get the following stories by the following creators:
Sanford Greene and Chuck Brown: “Rotten Apple” Part 1 (NEW)
Robert Love and David Walker: “Number 13” Chapter 1 (NEW)
Neal Adams: “Blood” Part 2
Howard Chaykin: “Marked Man” Part 2
Paul Chadwick: “Concrete: In a Wound in the Earth”
Carla Speed McNeil: “Finder: Third World” Part 2
David Chelsea: “Snow Angel” Part 2
Richard Corben: “Murky World” Part 2
Michael T. Gilbert: “Mr. Monster vs. Oooak!” Part 2
Patrick Alexander: “The Wraith” (NEW)
That’s quite a powerhouse of talent. New Chaykin and Concrete? What’s not to love? The first issue features the new 300 prequel Xerxes by Frank Miller, and while that isn’t contained in the list of content for the second issue, I’d imagine that story can’t be contained to just one issue!
Dark Horse also adds,
As Dark Horse’s 25th year rolls on in grand fashion, so does Dark Horse Presents! Issue number 2 of Dark Horse’s landmark anthology features not only the continuation of stories by the likes of Howard Chaykin, Richard Corben, Paul Chadwick, and Carla Speed McNeil, but the premieres of all new stories by Patrick Alexander, Sanford Greene and Robert Love! Don’t miss this milestone showcase of the comics industry’s hottest talents and most esteemed legends!
The issue is out June 22nd of this year at 80 pages for $7.99 (which is still less than 4 22 page issues at $2.99). Check behind the cut for the cover by Sanford Greene.
