The Prometheus movie really reminded me of the 1999 "Aliens: Apocalypse/Destroying Angels" comic book from Dark Horse Comics. Some elements of this comic book's storyline go as follows: scientists/explorers discover one of the Engineers' ships/structures with eggs inside; they also find the dead bodies of some Engineers; there is debate about science, religion and faith; they discover/question the grand purpose of the Aliens and their creators (Engineers/Space Jockeys) in the cosmos; there is an android that kinda reminds me of David; they discover a lone Engineer in hibernation; this Engineer gets impregnated by a facehugger; the resulting chestburster/creature is of immense size and has a different look (it reminded me of Prometheus' Deacon or Deacon Queen?); etc... Any of this ring a bell? wink wink ;) Maybe some Prometheus writers/scriptors based part of their material for the film on this particular comic book? There is something uncanny about the ressemblances. I might write more about this some other time or I'll try to find some pics. Have a good weekend Xeno fans!

FP, Thanks for the info. Your "owl" book quite intrigues me! As for the Space Jockeys, I think that Ridley Scott and the other "artisans" of Prometheus wanted to go with with their own original take and ideas for the Space Jockeys, ideas that may have been put on the table years before at the time of the making of the first "Alien" movie.
