About the series
In 1991, Malibu Comics expanded the world of Alien Nation with this four-issue miniseries, written by Lowell Cunningham and illustrated by Leonard Kirk. Following the events of the television series and its TV-movie sequel, the story deepens the cultural and criminal tensions between human detectives and their Newcomer partners. Cunningham and Kirk craft a gritty, character-driven thriller that explores the uneasy integration of the alien "Slag" community, making it a key entry for fans of the franchise's darker, more investigative side.
