Space: Above and Beyond—The Gauntlet

    (Topps, 1996)
™ and ©1996 Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

Based on the Fox TV series, the comic follows the US Marines 58th Squadron as they battle to protect Earth from the alien Chigs in the year 2063. Shipments of a vital ore are being hit time and time again by Chig ambushes. If they keep up the war effort will grind to a halt. The Wildcards must locate and destroy the Chig’s secret asteroid launch base before it’s too late.

As fan websites of the show attest, support is still high for the meticulously researched and developed series, despite a single broadcast season. Seasoned comic veteran Roy Thomas (Conan the Barbarian) helms the printed adaptation.
