Resident Alien

Resident Alien, published by Splitter Verlag from 2022, is a six-issue comic series that follows an extraterrestrial stranded on Earth, hiding in plain sight as a small-town doctor. The series is most associated with writer Peter Hogan and artist Steve Parkhouse, who bring a quiet, character-driven approach to the sci-fi premise. It matters for its thoughtful, understated take on alien-invasion tropes, focusing on human connection and the loneliness of a being far from home.
