Launched in 1986, DARK HORSE PRESENTS is the longest-running anthology comic book still being published. It has won numerous awards since its inception, and debuted such award-winning series as CONCRETE, JOHN BYRNE'S NEXT MEN, and SIN CITY. Now Dark Horse prepares for the 100th issue of the celebrated comic, and editor Bob Schreck promises it will be "unlike any previous milestone! It'll be a Magnificent Milestone!" Schreck continued, "We coulda gone with gold foil-but that ain't nothin' but fool's gold. And, yeah, maybe a special double issue, but those just don't seem so _special_ anymore. We talked about killing a character, or changing a costume, but it's so hard anymore to keep track of who's in motion-picture development, and I'd hate to screw up one of Richardson's big ol' Hollywood productions! "And in the midst of wrestling with all of that, an even bigger problem arose: _Everybody_ wants to be involved! Geez, even if we settled on a double issue, we _still_ wouldn't have enough room! And then it struck us, the obvious solution. DHP 100 isn't just a one-issue celebration; it's the milestone so big it had to become a *miniseries*! "So in August, we're shipping *five big issues* of DHP 100! One issue a week for each of five weeks, featuring all the greatest creators and characters! You want Paul Chadwick? We've got the sequel to the first Concrete story! Looking for Bernie Wrightson? Look no further: we're sportin' his first rendition of Mike Mignola's Hellboy! Frank Miller? How 'bout the debut of his all-new character, Lance Blastoff?! Make no mistakeÃœDHP 100 is twenty-four karat, baby!" DHP 100 #s 1 through 5 ship weekly beginning August 1, with a cover price of $2.50 each ($3.50 for our Canadian friends).
