Brain Dead's latest collaboration with Disney Consumer Products and 20th Century Studios features a limited-edition collection inspired by the Aliens comic series. The capsule includes four garments designed with archival comic visuals, showcasing Brain Dead's punk-futurist aesthetic aligned with the moody energy of Aliens. Kyle Ng, the brand's founder, used his collection of vintage comics for authentic graphics, resulting in apparel that feels like wearable zines. This project reflects Ng's deep-rooted connection to comic culture, distinguishing itself from typical commercial merchandise by emphasizing tactile authenticity and artistic storytelling.
The capsule consists of four garments designed with archival comic book visuals that pay homage to the iconic franchise of Aliens, originally published by Dark Horse Comics.
Rather than opting for generic licensed artwork, Brain Dead's design team dove deep into founder Kyle Ng's personal archive of vintage Aliens comics, resulting in a distinct range of apparel.
Each graphic used in the capsule was hand-picked and scanned directly from Ng's collection, preserving the grit and intensity of the comic panels, making the garments feel like wearable zines.
This collaboration fuses Brain Dead's punk-futurist aesthetic with the moody energy of Aliens, transporting wearers into a grim world of xenomorphs and corporate dystopia.
