Unlike Dark Horse Comics' concurrent, flagship anthology series, Dark Horse Presents, Dark Horse Comics was a full-color publication. It served as something of a sister publication to Dark Horse Presents, featuring works by many of the same creators or featuring the same characters and titles, except now in a color format. These two series, together with the UK-based Aliens magazine, account for the majority of Aliens, Predator and Aliens vs. Predator comic short story releases — although there have also been a handful of other one-shot and special issue short stories.
