Based on the movie series Alien, this comic follows the terrifying Alien creatures. Mankind first encountered the Aliens when the spacecraft Nostromo answered an emergency call and touched down on a desolate planet called Acheron. There, the ship’s crew came across an Alien egg chamber. Without warning a crablike creature sprung out of an egg, melted through a crewman’s faceplate, and attached itself to his face. It grew inside the crewman, and eventually burst through his chest in its second stage form. Later, the Alien grew into a towering killer with twin jaws and acid for blood. That one Alien killed virtually the entire crew of the Nostromo.
