I was lucky enough lately in my torrent Hopping to obtain the complete library of every Alien Franchise Comic Book Made to Date as well as the Complete Omnibus...This afternoon as a matter of fact, and have just now started reading ALIEN for the first time...and I am loving all of the tiny tiny subtle differences Big Time, and as it reads like the Movie [b]It is a Joy to experience this way in Full Screen Mode and In full Loving Color on a Giant LCD![/b] 1st thing I stopped for aside from Parkers comment on Jonsey was the reference to a 32 second interval on the Derelict's signal...Incredible!!! The Older I Get The Longer that Interval becomes...LMAO...Here's the Pic... [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v234/LT.HIGHTIMES/1a132.jpg[/img]

why, I wonder, did the comic writer change that from 12 to 32? few other changes in it, but very enjoyable and well done edit: I went and revisited Heavy Metal's archives because of this. I was always a Lampoon fan, but never got into HM when it came out

I like how the comic upsizes the Alien considerably. It's huge, the way it should be

Cool I've been using that pic for my profile photo. I absolutely love this book. I got this before I watched the film when it came out, don't think my Dad knew what it was about, it gave me the courage to watch the film when it came on tv. Fore warned is fore armed. Still had to watch it through my fingers though! Ha!

i am lucky enough to own a first run copy of the physical book, i loved reading it back when i got it in the late 1980's, and to see it now in HD on my computer just re-validates watch a GREAT work of art this book is, and has been for such a long time now the artwork is great, there is a palpable sense of urgency and foreboding in each and every panel it seems, and viewing this thread made for some great and now classic pen / ink illustrated memories...
