Stargate: The New Adventures Collection

Stargate had one of the more intriguing B-movie premises of recent years: it speculated that the ancient Egyptian gods were actually aliens from across the galaxy who traveled from their homeworld to Earth using an interdimensional portal known as a Stargate. When current-day scientists discover the long-dormant gate at an archeological dig in Egypt, they reopen the portal and must fight the godlike aliens, and rescue a community of humans who were kept as slaves on the alien world since the days of the Pharaohs.

Stargate: The New Adventures picks up on these themes and takes them further than the movie, as it develops the relationships between the scientific characters and the gung-ho military team (led in the movie by Kurt Russell) and builds the science-fiction elements. Bill Maus and Waldon Wong illustrated the story in a sparse, sketchy black-and-white style.
