1987’s PREDATOR turned 30 yesterday.

Truth be told, I would have loved to right 90 paragraphs gushing over John McTiernan and Arnold Schwarzenegger’s inarguably timeless action-thriller…but I got shit to do. So, I’ll just gush over Dark Horse’s latest hardcover collecting some of their best Predator stories (in stores tomorrow).

Predator: The Original Comics Series--Concrete Jungle and Other

Real quick: When flipping through the following preview pages, it’s important to remember that there was a time when sequels to PREDATOR were few and far between. Of course, Danny Glover took a stab at a follow-up in 1990, but most of us were really left to our imaginations when it came to what could come next. Then 2004’s ALIEN VS. PREDATOR (the movie) happened and it just deflated all hopes.

Those of us who were smart, though, we knew Dark Horse had our back. They’d been publishing stories featuring the galaxy’s greatest hunter for years by that point. This latest collection houses some of the best of those tales. The best part: They carry none of the baggage that came with those lesser cinematic entries.

From Dark Horse Comics:
