Dark Horse Presents #14 (Tony Puryear Cover)Media Release -- With overwhelming fan support, Tony Puryear's Concrete Park is slated for a new story arc in Dark Horse Presents #14–#17!

Concrete Park's return in Dark Horse Presents #14 brings us dark visions for Isaac and an event that will rock all the inhabitants of Scare City, human and non-human. This ongoing sci-fi series, written and drawn by screenwriter Tony Puryear (Eraser) takes you to a far-off planet where Earth's poor youth have been exiled, and where they now must make a new world.

"Working with Dark Horse, getting to appear in DHP alongside great new work by Mike Mignola and Neal Adams is a terrific honor," Puryear says. "I'm gratified that the reviews have been so positive, and more importantly, that the fans are finding and following Concrete Park. And on a personal note—we got the cover!"

Praise for Concrete Park:

"The visuals on Concrete Park are a highly graphic style that is incredibly appealing."—Comic Book Resources

"[Puryear's] art . . . instantly grabbed my attention. His thick, heavy inks are striking, forming his characters with a great deal of confidence and force. Through his art, you instantly get a feel for this near-future [city]; the swagger of his characters and their surroundings just bursts off of the page."—Read About Comics
