"Aliens: Outbreak, originally titled Aliens and also known as Aliens: Book One and Aliens, Vol. 1: Outbreak, is a six-issue limited comic book series that was first published bi-monthly by Dark Horse Comics from July 1988-July 1989. It was the first comic in the now extensive Aliens comics line (not counting the comic adaptation of the film Alien, which was released several years previously but is not associated with Dark Horse). Originally published in black and white, the story was written by Mark Verheiden, illustrated by Mark A. Nelson and Ron Randall, inked by Nelson, lettered by Willie Schubert and edited by Randy Stradley, with cover art by Nelson. The series was released alongside the tie-in short story Aliens: Theory of Alien Propagation, produced by the same creative team, and was later adapted as the novel Aliens: Earth Hive by Steve Perry. The series was originally a direct sequel to the 1986 film Aliens, continuing the stories of Corporal (now promoted to Sergeant) Hicks and Newt several years after the events at Hadley's Hope. However, the release of Alien3 in 1992 led to later editions being edited in order to fit with the events of that movie. It forms part one of a three-part story arc continued in Aliens: Nightmare Asylum and concluded in Aliens: Female War. Released to tremendous fan response, the series became an early hit for the two-year old Dark Horse Comics and spawned an extensive line of Aliens comic books. It was published concurrently with Aliens: Theory of Alien Propagation, and was followed by Aliens: Nightmare Asylum a year later."@en . . . . "Aliens: Theory of Alien Propagation"@en . "Mark A.
