A delicate balance exists between the powers of light and darkness, and when the thief Kitsune picks the purse of a samurai to find a small, nondescript jewel, she threatens to upset this balance forever!"

Here's how Dark Horse describes the issue:

"But there are things in the dark that can hurt us. Just ask Dylan Dog.
"An ex-cop who now battles against evil as a 'nightmare investigator,' Dylan Dog is unlike any private eye you've ever met. If creatures from beyond the unknown are after you, and if you can hire him, he just might save your life."
