Alien Legion

Alien Legion, published by Marvel from 1984 to 1987, is a gritty, military-science-fiction series that follows a multicultural peacekeeping force in a distant, war-torn galaxy. Written primarily by Archie Goodwin, Alan Zelenetz, and Carl Potts, with art from Goodwin, Chris Warner, and Larry Stroman, the book distinguished itself by focusing on the camaraderie and conflict within a squad of flawed, alien soldiers rather than on clear-cut heroes or villains. Its 20-issue run earned a reputation for mature, character-driven storytelling that felt more akin to adult war comics than traditional superhero fare.
