Video Jack #4 - 1st Marvel Aliens 0

[Michael Browning]

I saw that Marvel now has the licenses to Aliens and Predator and I’ve seen the spikes in sales of the Dark Horse omnibus trade paperbacks and I’m wondering: has anyone noticed that Video Jack #4 by Cary Bates and Keith Giffen (Aliens segment drawn by Joe Barney and Dave Hunt) features the first appearance in a Marvel comic of Aliens. The title character goes into the movie Aliens and encounters an Alien queen from which he has to escape.

I haven’t really seen much on this, but the Video Jack 1st appearance was released the exact same month and year as Dark Horse’s Aliens #1 - May, 1988.

That is really cool. The downside is that you had to read a copy of Video Jack #4 in order to find that out!
