Aliens Comics UK

In the UK Aliens has not had much success in comics. But in the 1990s it did spawn three volumes of a comic beginning with a series published by Trident Comics reprinting various Dark Horse Aliens stories. This lasted 17 issues until Trident was absorbed into Dark Horse International, the European branch of dark Horse Comics who published Aliens Volume 2 for 22 issues along with a 3 issue mini series comic adaptation of Alien 3. The main Aliens series eventually incorporated Predator stories as well.

After Dark Horse International folded, many of the franchise they held the rights to went to Titan Publishing. To coincide with the release of Alien Resurrection, Titan released a third Aliens title which reprinted the comic adaptation of Resurrection along with various other Dark Horse Alien stories. This time the comic only lasting 3 issues. It had a very similar lay out to the previous two volumes even though it was published by a different company and was basically set up as a third volume, continuing where Dark Horse international left off.

 

Mars Attacks Toys and Action Figures

Over the years Mars Attacks has had a few different action figure lines based on the property. The most well known being the Trendmasters line from 1996 that tied in to the Tim Burton movie and was based on the films designs. The was followed up by a wave of Martians based on the 90s Topps comic book designs which were far more EXTREME!!!! with viscious looking fang filled faces, overly muscular bodies and dynamic yet hard to stand poses.
Mezco produced a figure based on the original Topps trading card art work which is at a more adult collector standard to fit in with the likes of NECA toys.

Mars Attacks has also had multiple comic books published over the years. The 90s Topps comic which featured far different designs to try to appeal more to a 90s audience. The in the 2010s IDW picked up the license and gave us comics based far more on the original art and concept. Most recently Dynamite comics has launched their Mars Attacks comic book also using the iconic original designs.
