What Is Alien Legion?

Alien Legion is a military sci-fi comic series published by Marvel under their Epic Comics imprint, running from 1984 to 1987 for 20 issues. Created by Carl Potts with art by Frank Cirocco, it follows the Alien Legion — a futuristic fighting force made up of humans, aliens, and all manner of interstellar misfits, not unlike a science-fiction Foreign Legion. The series focuses on Nomad Squad, a ragtag unit led by the tough veteran Sarigar, alongside memorable characters like Torie Montroc and Jugger Grimrod, as they battle across the galaxy on behalf of the Galactic Union. It was praised for its gritty, adult storytelling and imaginative world-building, and spawned a second series and several miniseries. If you love military sci-fi with a rich alien ensemble cast, this is a hidden gem worth digging into!
