About this Collection

This trade paperback collects the three-issue miniseries from Malibu Comics, a satirical homage to 1950s sci-fi B-movies. The story follows a group of teenagers and a scientist as they battle alien invaders, mutant creatures, and government conspiracies, all rendered in a style that mimics the campy, atomic-age aesthetic of the era.

"Death Lies Ahead" delivers a chilling, straight-up sci-fi horror tale in Malibu’s They Came from the 50’s #nn, where John Blane’s obsession with immortality leads him down a path of murder, defiance, and endless suffering. Written and illustrated by Charles Nicholas, the story unfolds with a grim, relentless pace, exploring the terrible cost of eternal life through a man who cannot die—only endure. Ron Wilber’s cover captures the eerie, grotesque tone of the tale, perfectly framing Blane’s descent into a living nightmare.
