Resident Alien #0
"Resident Alien: Welcome To Earth!" kicks off Peter Hogan’s acclaimed series with a quiet, clever premise: an alien posing as a reclusive doctor in the small town of Patience uses his subtle telepathy to blend in. When the town’s real doctor is murdered, the local police and Mayor Hawthorne enlist the alien to temporarily run the clinic—setting up a week of uneasy normalcy in a town that doesn’t know what it’s really dealing with. Steve Parkhouse handles every aspect of the interior art, inks, colors, and letters, with his distinctive style anchoring the story’s eerie yet grounded tone, while his cover art captures the alien’s unsettling presence with a touch of dry humor.
