ALIENS GRAPHIC NOVEL PLATINUM LT EDITION SIMON BISLEY ALIEN PROMETHEUS HR GIGER!

ALIENS GRAPHIC NOVEL! LIMITED PLATINUM EDITION ILLUSTRATED BY THE LEGENDARY SIMON BISLEY. THE ALIENS from the RIDLEY SCOTT/JAMES CAMERON film series. Also features a very different depiction of The Engineers, than what was eventually revealed in the recent Prometheus film. RARE and OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM FOR FANS OF ALIENS All of the stand-alone stories from the past issues of Dark Horse Presents in one volume, and in color for the first time! This package includes stories by Mark Verheiden and Mark A. Nelson (DHP #24), Anina Bennett and Paul Guinan (DHP # 42-43), John Arcudi and Simon Bisley (DHP 5th Anniversary Special), and Arcudi, Guinan and Tony Akins (DHP #56). This volume is colored by Rachelle Menashe and Chris Chalenor. All wrapped up in a stunning new cover painting by Simon Bisley. This 1992 special collected and colorized the various Aliens appearances from Dark Horse Presents. The first of the five stories, “Theory of Alien Propagation,” is a primer to the Aliens’ ghastly breeding and hunting practices, speculating on their origins, and concluding with their threat to Earth. Paul Guinan and Anina Bennett’s two-part Aliens story is the most effective of the bunch, relating a treasure-hunting expedition into an Alien pyramid, only to find a terrible presence within the mausoleum. Simon Bisley-illustrated “Reapers” is perhaps the least effective, although it does boast Bisley’s trademark art, as well as a humorous flourish at the end. The special is concluded with “The Alien,” a final chapter in Aliens: Earth War in which mankind arranges to repopulate an Earth overrun by Aliens. fantastic high quality full color graphic novel printed on bright glossy paper stock. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
