11-Year-Old Drew An Entire ‘ALIEN’ Comic from 1979

30 years ago an 11-year-old, John White drew a comic of a film he wasn’t old enough to see. Armed with just some art supplies, the Alan Dean Foster novelization of Alien and a Cracked magazine parody of the movie, he put together “a sci-fi classic of classically sci-fi proportions.”

Now “Alien Age 11″ is being posted as a webcomic, one page at a time:

 

He also drew a badass Star Wars comic at age 9:

Great, kid! Don’t get cocky. Love your drawings, but your web layout broke my clicking finger bro.

  1. Thanks for this Fin. How did the layout make it difficult for you? Was it having to scroll inside the text area in the Star Wars site? Let me know, because I want to improve things.
    On the ALIEN site, there’s no scrollbar in the text box.
    Cheers,
    John
