Cover by: Brian Buniak & Chris Chalenor

Dark Horse Presents is an anthology series, each issue collecting several new short stories. Some stories are one-shots while many span several issues.

Marvel has Marvel Comics Presents; DC had DC Comics Presents; and… Dark Horse Comics has…well, you can guess. Dark Horse Presents isn’t just a clone of the big two’s try-out books. For one, it’s published in a hefty black-and-white format, packing two or three times as many stories into each issue as any of its competitors. Also, the range of stories is, well, frankly amazing! A single issue may start with a terrible spoof of Dark Horse itself, move on to a gritty true-crime drama such as Sin City, switch over to a fairy tale adapted from Oscar Wilde, cut loose with IT! The Beast, then return to part two of the spoof. Unbelievable! Good Stuff!!

Dark Horse Presents #47 features the monster extravaganza of the decade… all in Glorious Black & White. In this issue, “Giant” monsters take the spotlight with four stories of big, slimy, scaly, teeth-gnashing, tail-thrashing, building-smashing beasties. From “Jungle of the Giants” to “Burn Out” to “Desperate” and finally to “Monster Island”, there is no shortage of giant monsters causing mayhem to puny defenseless humans. Poor humans.
