The Thing (From Another World)

In 1991–1992, Dark Horse brought Chuck Pfarrer and John Higgins together for a taut, two-issue comic series that expands on the paranoia and shape-shifting horror of John Carpenter’s The Thing. Set in the aftermath of the Antarctic outpost’s destruction, the story follows a government clean-up crew as they confront the lingering, alien menace—and the terrifying question of who is still human. Pfarrer’s lean, claustrophobic script and Higgins’ stark, atmospheric art capture the dread of the original film while carving out their own chilling chapter in the mythos.
