The problem is a nest of Aliens that has settled near the wreck. Stitch has a plan. He sends in a little pig carrying a low-yield nuclear bomb, wired to a remote detonator.

Dixon and Flint Henry had already worked together on "Lawdog" for Marvel's Epic Comics line. The story was collected in "Aliens Omnibus: Volume 6" in 2008.
