Was there ever a comic featuring Ripley and the Aliens? Yes, and no, but we'll take it.
As I was
preparing to update this site today, I happen to see Dark Horse Comics' advertisement
for their newest issue of Alien vs. Predator: Life and Death #4 and Aliens: Defiance #10. These comic books
made me wonder if the main character, Ellen Ripley, from the Aliens quadrilogy films
was ever featured in comic form.
Low and behold, I discovered "Aliens
vs. Predator vs. The Terminator", Dark Horse Comics' four-part comic book
series featuring Ridley and a whole host of other characters, not only from Aliens,
but as the titles suggest, Predator and The Terminator as well. I am a great fan of all of these movie
franchises, and the Aliens film quadrilogy is my favorite of the three.

This comic book collection begins some time after the
crash of the spaceship, Auriga, on earth from the film Aliens: Resurrection featuring
the clone Ridley 8. John Connor from the Terminator movies also makes appearances.
But, to answer my question: Was there ever a comic featuring
Ripley and the Aliens? The answer would be no, because the real Ellen Ripley was
long dead by the time Ripley 8 came along.
