For the thirtieth anniversary of Aliens, Dark Horse presents this edition of the unabridged and unadulterated series in its original stark black and white. Nelson and seminal script by Mark Verheiden (who went on to write The Mask, Timecop, Battlestar Galactica, Daredevil, and many other films and televisions shows) continued to grip readers’ imaginations for years afterward. Though the story was subsequently rendered noncanonical by the film Alien 3, the stunningly detailed art by Mark A. Years before any talk of another film sequel, the comics series took the fandom by storm, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. Two years later, Dark Horse Comics released a direct follow-up to the events in the film. In 1986, James Cameron’s “Aliens” brought to theaters the horrors of a new kind of war against a terrifying enemy.
