In 1986, James Cameron's Aliens brought to theatres the horrors of a new kind of war against a terrifying enemy. Two years later, Dark Horse Comics released a direct follow-up to the events in the film. Years before any talk of a third Alien film, the comics series took fandom by storm, selling hundreds of thousands of copies. Thirty years later, Dark Horse is still a valued partner of 20th Century Fox and joins them in celebrating the anniversary of Aliens with the release of this oversize collection of the original comics series.
Re-presenting the phenomenally successful Aliens II series written by Mark Verheiden and featuring the full-color airbrushed artwork by Denis Beauvais, this package also features an embossed hardcover and Smythe-sewn binding.

Also included is an all-new, full-color painting by Beauvais which serves as a bound-in signature plate that will be signed and numbered by both the author and artist. This 112-page deluxe hardcover volume is a true collector's item and is limited to 2,500 copies. Collects Aliens: Book II #1-4.
