Exquisite Corpse

In 1990, Dark Horse published Exquisite Corpse, a three-issue miniseries that adapts the surrealist parlor game of the same name into a comic format. The series is a visual and narrative experiment, with each issue's story contributed by a different creative team, building on the previous installment's cliffhanger in unexpected ways. Photographic art by an uncredited artist gives the book a distinctive, eerie realism. While short-lived, Exquisite Corpse remains a fascinating artifact of Dark Horse's early willingness to explore unconventional storytelling.
