Aliens #15

"Backsplash Part One" kicks off in the gritty, interconnected universe of Aliens, where the pulse of the franchise continues to resonate through real-world media. This 1993 issue, written by Dave Hughes, captures the cultural moment with in-universe news pieces on the ALIENS and THE ABYSS Special Editions, the Alien War attraction, and the upcoming films starring Lance (Bishop) Henriksen, all rendered with a sharp, grounded edge. The cover by Kilian Plunkett adds a striking, atmospheric touch to the era’s sci-fi fever.
