  • A second, similar comic was created to advertise the Alien3 video game released on the Game Boy portable console. It shows a boy becoming obsessed with the game, eventually even changing his appearance to resemble one of the shaven-headed inmates of the Fiorina 161 Class C Work Correctional Unit, at which point he is attacked and eaten by an Alien that has escaped into the real world. It is not currently known where this second comic/advertisement was published.
