Well this is certainly a surprise! Alien Next Door is currently being advertised in the September issue of Previews. The advertisement bills Alien Next Door as the “first official Alien cartoon book” and comes from the artist Joey Spiotto, who seems to be quite well known for this style of artwork.
“See a new, caring side to the legendary science fiction monster. From facehuggers to feather dusters, discover how the perfect killing machine relaxes after a day of scaring space marines.”
Alien Next Door by Joey Spiotto, due for released November 4 2015.
Due for release on the 4th of November, Alien Next Door will be published by Titan who are also publishing a brand new Alien vs Predator novel trilogy, the first of which (Predator: Incursion) is due out at the end of September. Thanks to Matt Booker from over at the Weyland-Yutani Bulletin for the news!
Never mind the hair, she looks like she went for the full 'Bert at her local plastic surgeon's.
I really miss those oldschool art-style posters for films.
Wonder who the artist was.
But it's a flattering rendition of Giger's monster.

And there's been an endless stream of toys - for an R-rated franchise - since, including things like bobble heads and plushies.
But THIS BOOK is totes responsible for making Alien a joke...
There were cartoons and stuff way back when even the first film came out. We just didn't have the Internet to help laugh about them, back then.

I had a flick through Archie vs Predator. I didn't buy it, but it did look fun.
