Your photo is way better than the scan they are using on ComicsPriceGuide.com, where it is listed as a one-shot from 1993

https://links.gitshare.io/link/Joa4Z9OMDGA//OQA3ADEANQA4ADMA.jpg

On MyComicShop.com Fantaco only has four things listed, for some reason they do not list "Prey" but they do have a different book called "Prey For Us Sinners"

https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?pl=Fantaco%20Enterprises

ComicBookDB.com has a lot more issues from the publisher, but still no Prey

http://www.comicbookdb.com/publisher.php?ID=3231

However from their list, you an at least find other books around that 1993 time frame and pick up those books too if they might be similar nightmarish comics.

What an awesome random get.

Thank you for you comment, you cite some great resources. It is so weird to be unable to find any info about this book, not even its writer & artist! In some illustrations there is a "St Denis" signature, with dates from 1989-1991 but could not trace it to a specific artist.

Outside the world of the Marvel and DCs, plus to a lesser extent Dark Horse, Image, etc.  Indie stuff pre-90s can sometimes be hard to find good info on.   Then you get the older Whitman Gold Key stuff all over the place, Disney stuff, some Archie and Harvey and other cartoon books went by uncredited.   Kids or even adults didn't care who did the stuff, and I'm sure the companies back then didn't want to lose their talent so why advertise their names.    I feel Image Comics was a big part of helping changing the game in that regards.

Just out of curiosity, would you be able to take a picture of some art that has the artists signature showing (St Denis?), and also any insides of the book that include the small print/copyright stuff.

I just did a search by ISBN, which was the obvious thing to do all along, and [the result](https://isbnsearch.org/isbn/0938782290) cites HP Lovecraft as the author (!). But in the links provided, there are [some credits](https://www.textbookrush.com/order/cart.aspx?sku=1323477155&pt=1&mp=1&action=add&kbid=1011&sub=pl3480_pf3u9gfL1U), citing Thomas Skulas (the head of Fantaco), Oliver Morissette & Jim St. Dennis.

I'll post some pics tomorrow, to get good photos in sunlight. Thanks for your concern.
