In 1979 , clothes designer John White was 11 years old and had never see Ridley Scott ’s Alien . Still , that did n’t stop him from write his own laughable script version of the moving picture using markers and notebook computer report . explain White — who has also releasedhis nine - class - old self ’s take on Star Wars — of his reference material :
This movie adaption made at the time that ALIEN hit theatres around the earth but long before the underage artist had actually determine the film itself . That would n’t take place for 3 or 4 more years [ … ] it was done with nothing but an Alan Dean Foster novelisation with its few colour glossy photos as a optical reference , and a satire by Cracked Magazine that came out much later .
For example , that quippy picture at top was cribbed wholesale from the Cracked adaptation . White ’s been posting Page from his complete comic over the last month or so , but my favorite illustrations are his former drafts that were inform solely by a ready glance at his uncle ’s H.R. Giger Alien design book . Here are some of the choicest flake :

The Cygon ? voice suspiciously like CYLON to me . I used to observe Battlestar Galactica in the absence of Star Wars out of gauzy despair [ … ] I took unknown to be the usual Sci - fi fare with lasers and villain shooting it out with one another . I ’m retrieve that Flagen ( roll up eyes again ) was a word I blame up during Northern Irish visits where people would be let the cat out of the bag about toast Flagons of cider and Nagons of whiskey .
They put down on Planet Alien and when attacked by the face crusher exclaim , “ help oneself ! It ’s Alien ! ” A bit like my parents asking oh , is that jaw ? Is that the bit when jaw attacks the swimmer ?
This strip taps into that parental word of advice to never feed anything that ’s fallen on the floor .
