*Miscellaneous 1960 Onwards: Disregarding, if we may, a magazine movie adaptation in 1979, the comic career of Aliens commenced with the six-issue mini-series from Dark Horse in 1988, launching the highly successful sequence of the not-so-cuddly xenomorphs in sequential art adventures. Fresh in we have the first issue of that series (and thus the first appearance of Aliens in comics) from May 1988, a first printing. 
PICTURED: ALIENS #1 NM- £80 A brilliant copy, virtually fresh from the comic store, with just two or three tiny stress marks at the spine. Flat, tight and glossy with white pages and perfect staples. Hard to find as nice as this due to the black cover. SOLD
