About this Collection

This volume collects the early issues of the original Alien Legion series, focusing on the gritty military exploits of a multicultural unit of misfit soldiers in a far-future space setting. The story follows the Footsloggers, a combat team within the larger Alien Legion, as they undertake dangerous missions across hostile alien worlds. Written by Alan Zelenetz with art by Frank Cirocco and others, this edition reprints the formative tales that established the series' blend of sci-fi action and character-driven drama.

In "Survival of the Fittest," the Alien Legion's Footsloggers face brutal choices on Bokunh Island as a military coup erupts. When Torie is injured and left behind, Skob's decision to steal his ID sets off a chain of tension—only for him to reconsider when Zeerod defies orders to search for him. Written by Alan Zelenetz and illustrated by Frank Cirocco, with inks by Terry Austin, colors by Bob Sharen, and letters by Jim Novak, this issue’s cover by Frank Cirocco captures the stakes in sharp, tense detail.
