Close Encounters of the Third Kind

A single-issue comic book adaptation of Steven Spielberg's classic 1977 film, this Semic Press release translates the story of humanity's first contact with alien life to the page. Scripted by Archie Goodwin and Jan de Rooij with art by a young Walter Simonson, it captures the wonder and mystery of the original movie. Though a brief publication, it stands as a notable early-career work from a future comics legend.
