DescriptionAliens: Earth War #1 page 9 by Sam Kieth. This art is huge! 15x20 inches. Great page featuring Ripley, a facehugger and the Space Jockey. This was also printed in the Aliens: Earth War HC/TPB, Aliens: Female War TP, The Compleat Aliens HC, Aliens: The Original Comic Series Vol.2 HC, Aliens: The Essential Comics Vol.1 TPB, and Aliens Omnibus Vol.1 TPB (collects Female War). In the UK, the series was serialized and reprinted in 7 parts from July 1991-Jan. 1992 in Aliens #6-12 in Aliens magazine.Aliens: Earth War, rereleased as Aliens: Female War, and also known as Aliens, Vol. 3: Female War, is a four-issue limited comic book series that was first published by Dark Horse Comics from June-October 1990. It was written by Mark Verheiden, illustrated by Sam Kieth, colored by Monika Livingston, lettered by Pat Brosseau, and edited Diana Schutz, with cover art by John Bolton. The series is one of the few Aliens, Predator and Aliens vs. Predator comic books to serve as a direct sequel to an earlier story. Specifically, it continues where the previous series, Aliens: Nightmare Asylum, left off. It originally acted as a continuation of the 1986 film Aliens, featuring the characters of Hicks, Newt and Ripley, but following the release of Alien3 in 1992, some reprinted editions have been edited in order to fit with the events of that movie. In the Aliens comics line, Aliens: Female War was preceded by Aliens: Nightmare Asylum, published concurrently with Aliens: Advent/Terminus and Aliens: Countdown, and was followed by Aliens: Reapers. The non-Dark Horse comic Do Aliens Dream? was also released concurrently, although it is not considered a part of the line. Female War was later adapted as the novel Aliens: The Female War by Steve Perry and Stephani Perry, published in 1993. The story is the continuing adventures of the characters Newt and Dwayne Hicks from the film Aliens, and also reintroducing Alien-film-franchise heroine Lt. Ellen Ripley. For later printings, after the release of the film Alien³, the story was retitled Aliens: The Female War, and the names/identities of the lead characters were changed to Billie and Wilks, since Newt and Hicks were killed off at the start of the film, and the Ellen Ripley who appears in the story is said to be a synthetic version of Ripley, who was killed off at the film's end. As such, the story, as Aliens: The Female War, the story still stands as part of Aliens comics/novel continuity; and Billie, Wilks, and the Ellen Ripley synthetic have all become completely separate characters.
