Had a few new bits arrive over the last couple of weeks.
Finally found a copy of this to go with issue #48 that I got a while ago. The articles on the effects in
Alien and
Aliens were actually kinda disappointing, but maybe that's just because the effects in those films has been so thoroughly covered elsewhere since. Haven't had a chance to read the rest yet.
Also got this:
Another thing I've been tempted by for a while. I actually already have the story in
Aliens magazine, but most of Dorman's incredible art is missing from that version for space reasons. Also Hicks has been singing the praises of the
Berserker novel and I know the Berserker suit shows up in this first, so I figured I could read it as a sort of prelude.
