New Sam Kieth Aliens Comic Book

CategoriesUncategorizedPosted on

It looks like artist Sam Kieth is working on another Aliens comic book.

Back in the early 1990s Kieth illustrated the third series of Aliens comics that was set about a decade after the movie Aliens (1986) in a world where the movie Alien 3 (1992) never happened. Here, characters Hicks and Newt returned to Earth to find it swarming with aliens.

After Alien 3 was released which opened with the deaths of both Hicks and Newt, later releases of the comics were edited and Hicks was renamed Wilks and Newt Billie.

I always thought that after the movie Aliens the Dark Horse Aliens comics were much better than the films.

The internet can be a miracle. Years ago, we might have read about the very early work of certain filmmakers — commercials, short films, and so-called ‘industrials,’ aka informative films made for companies or schools — but they were often very difficult to find. We knew about these journeyman periods from various directors, but couldn’t easily view them. Now, when someone finds a rare copy of a famous filmmaker’s early work, it takes only minutes to digitize and upload to YouTube, where it becomes part of public record once more.

Case in point: Modern Football, one of the earliest films made by the late Robert Altman (M.A.S.H., Nashville, Gosford Park).
