Aliens: Earth Angel

In this 1994 one-shot from Dark Horse, writer/artist John Byrne delivers a standalone Aliens tale that focuses on the strange bond between a human survivor and a young Xenomorph. Rather than a sprawling war, the story explores a quiet, unsettling intimacy on a remote frontier world. It's a curious, character-driven detour in the Aliens comics canon, notable for being Byrne's sole contribution to the franchise.
