These were done as covers and promo pieces for the
ALIEN3 comic adaptation and the mini-series "
ALIENS: GENOCIDE" from Dark Horse Comics. Suydam is good friends with Frank Frazetta and you can clearly see the influence. While his Aliens tend to be a bit too much on the beefy side, I still really dig his interpretations; he highlights the
alien/exotic/foreign aspect and brings the horrific ferocity of the creature to the canvas.

He also did a rad painting of the
Dark Knight in a very Frazetta style! The 3 below the Batman are
Frazetta's Vampirella, Conan and Death Dealer.

More recently, Suydam has been receiving alot of COMIC attention from his
Marvel Zombies covers. While fun and silly, I don't dig them as much. Examples
here.

I think Giger's was perfect. BTW, do you know what Giger is up to these days?
That Batman painting is the bomb! And yes, very much frazetta like.
