Predator, created by screenwriter Shane Black, was introduced to movie goers in the 1987 film of the same name. Special effects artisit Stan Winston (Terminator) developed the unique look of the alien.
The Predator proved to be such a stand-out creature that the francise epanded to more films, comics, comic cross-overs, video games and novels. Not only does this collection of media give us background to the Predator race, show us their love of trophies but also showcase their intergalactic beef with Aliens.
The Predator works as a counter-point to the H.R. Giger designed Aliens; However despite the more human appearance, the Predator is no less fearsome.
