Alien Next Door

I think we are all terrified of the Xenomorphs from the Alien movies. But what if these creatures weren’t scary? Alien Next Door is a picture book by artist Joey Spiotto. It imagines that the alien from the Alien movies are cute and cuddly friends. And somehow it works. Who would have thought that these scary creatures could be so adorable?

But don’t get too complacent while you are admiring this cute alien. The real versions will still kill you dead and rip out your insides.

Vintage Chinese Bootleg Star Wars Comic

Nick Stember has translated a 142 page Chinese comic book adaptation of Star Wars that was originally published in Guangdong, China, in the 1980s. It’s crazy stuff. It’s best just to take a look for yourself. It seems to have been made without viewing Return of the Jedi, since there are elements of the other movies and none from Jedi.

Below are just some of the panels. You can hit up Nick’s website for the rest. This is a strange rabbit hole to fall into, but you can easily lose a lot of time looking through all of the images and translations.
