Back when comics were good.
“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could,
they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
they didn’t stop to think if they should.”
I haven’t seen a copy of this comic book in a while now. I’m not even sure what the premise of the crossover is…I presume it’s a “what if the Newcomers’ ships showed up to Earth during Planet of the Apes time,” and that’s good enough an explanation.
Just presenting it here as a reminder that, while we can sometimes joke about wild crossovers between two (or more) otherwise conceptually (if not corporately) unrelated properties, this is one that actually happened. And let it give you the hope we can all stand to use right now that such a thing could happen again.
Apes and Newcomers–odd combo, and maybe too much monkey business to overcome, but nice Gulacy cover art!
Having never seen or read Alien Nation, might I assume it’s primarily about strippers with guns?
I didn’t watch Alien Nation either, but my memory of seeing commercials for the show is that it was a rip-off of Zenna Henderson’s “The People” science fiction stories, except with less allusions to Mormonism.

Suffice to so the entire 4 issue (5 because of aforementioned special NUMBERED issue 1) run clocked in far under that including shipping
