Predator: Cold War is an American comic book limited series of the action and science fiction genres. It was published by Dark Horse Comics and ran four four issues from September to December, 1991. The series is based on the Predator film series produced by the Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation. Predator: Cold War was written by Mark Verheiden with artwork by Ron Randall and inks by Steve Mitchell.

The Predators are back, only this time they've touched down in a remote section of Soviet Siberia. "So let the Russians worry about `em," is New York City police detective John Schaefer's attitude. The only problem is someone seems to want Schaefer in on the action -- whether he likes it or not!
