Aliens: Kidnapped

Description

"Aliens: Kidnapped" is a three-issue comic book series released by Dark Horse Comics from December 1997 to February 1998. It was written by Jim Woodring and Justin Green and drawn by Francisco Solano López, with covers by Kilian Plunkett.

Three smugglers raid a derelict ship and come back with Alien eggs. A Gaianet scientist buys the normal ones but pays them extra to get rid of the last, a strange pink egg. Instead, they take it to Barabazon, a shantytown on Earth, and sell it to a bar owner.

The egg hatches on Darryl Zither, host of the TV show "Goad." Thinking he has only caught a nasty bug, Zither boards the shuttle of billionaire Ivy Derringer, bound for Celeste, her luxury resort on a terraformed asteroid. What he carries is no ordinary Chestburster, and the resort is about to face an epidemic.

Synopsis
