Terminator Comics UK

 Terminator comics in the UK have followed an almost identical trajectory to Alien comics. Being initially published by Trident Comics who also published Aliens, both being reprints of the US Dark Horse comic strips. The series then went to Dark Horse International as Aliens and all Tridents titles did. Dark Horse International also incorporated Robocop into the Terminator comic as it had Predator into Aliens.

Once dark Horse International went under, the Terminator comic ceased publication with issue 17. Titan then picked up the rights (along with Aliens) and released a new Terminator comic to tie in with the release of Terminator Salvation, though this only lasted four issues. Reprinting the prequel story for Salvation originally published by IDW in the US.

The first Terminator comic to be released in the UK was in 1991 by Trident Publishing to tie in with the then newly released Terminator 2. reprinting the US Dark Horse comics, this series lasted 17 issues with the last 5 being published by Dark Horse International who took over the license when Trident went out of business. The last four issues began incorporating Robocop into the comic much in the same way the UK Aliens comic included Predator.

In 2009, a second UK Terminator comic was released, this time by Titan to cash in on the latest movie in the franchise coming out in cinemas, Terminator Salvation. Lasting a mere four issues and reprinting the comic strips from the American IDW prequel series to the movie.
