Publishing history
Volume one
Dark Horse Presents was conceived as an anthology title and was the first comic to be released by the newly formed Dark Horse Comics in 1986. The first issue featured Black Cross on the cover and was notable for the first appearance of Paul Chadwick's Concrete. The title became successful thanks to the increasing popularity of Concrete who quickly became the regular cover feature for much of the first few years of the title.
Concrete eventually spun into its own title, and this was something which would happen to several characters and stories appearing in Dark Horse Presents. The most notable of which being Frank Miller's Sin City stories, which first appeared in Dark Horse Presents Fifth Anniversary Special as well as Dark Horse Presents #51. The title also marked the first appearance of the movie character Dr. Giggles in issues #64-66.
Dark Horse Presents was Dark Horse's longest running title, and provided a mix of material from established and new creators. The title ended with issue #157 in September 2000.
Volume two
Volume two of Dark Horse Presents is being made available through the social networking website MySpace. The first issue of the new volume featured new talents as well as well known writers like Joss Whedon and Ron Marz.
