This September will see the launch of the fourth installment of Steve Parkhouse and Peter Hogan’s “Resident Alien.” One of the best new series to spin out of the last few years of “Dark Horse Presents,” “Resident Alien” is the story of an extraterrestrial who finds himself stranded on earth. The titular alien, who we come to know as Harry, possess the ability to cloak himself, so he’s able to present as an aged human doctor. Harry’s an interesting guy, with an affinity for mystery novels and the drama of human life.

While the premise may sound like a set up for your stereotypical E.T. pastiche, what Parkhouse and Hogan have created here couldn’t be further from that. “Resident Alien” lends itself more to a mystery series, as Harry finds himself taking ‘cases’ with equal parts reluctance and enthusiasm. Sure, there are some government spooks who’re trying to track him down, but so far that’s something that’s only lingering in the background.

Check out the solicit for issue one, as well as an exclusive first look at Parkhouse’s cover!

    Alice Creed would be everyone’s favorite Princeton professor, that is if she ever bothered to show up for class. Instead, she moonlights as a private detective dealing in supernatural circumstances and monster hunting. Obviously, this really eats into her lecture time. “Semiautomagic” collects the first two stories of the weird investigative serial from Alex De […]
