1992 Star Pics Dark Horse Comics Trading Card #68 - Aliens

This is a 1992 Star Pics Dark Horse Comics trading card featuring a Xenomorph from the Aliens franchise, dynamic illustration by artist Ron Randall. The card is standard size (2.5 by 3.5 inches), printed on cardstock with a glossy finish. The front artwork depicts a blue-toned Xenomorph creature with its inner jaw exposed, dripping yellow acidic saliva over a red blood splatter against a textured grey background. The card features a dark bronze or brown border with a 'riveted' industrial aesthetic. Notable markings include the 'Dark Horse Comics' logo in the top left, the 'Star Pics' brand name in the top right, and 'Illustrated by Ron Randall' at the bottom. The condition appears to be protected within a graded slab or rigid plastic sleeve. There is some minor surface glare visible on the gloss, but the corners and edges through the holder appear sharp with no significant chipping or color loss visible in the image. This set was produced in the early 1990s during the peak popularity of collectible trading cards and crossover comic media. The ink saturation is strong, and the registration of the print is well-aligned, indicating standard high-quality mass production of the era.
