My favorite Quinn (The Fugitive) Martin Production was The Invaders! Gold Key continued the TV show with original stories in their four issue comic book series.

| The Invaders opening! |
"The Invaders! In Color!
 |
| Beings from a dying planet! |
The Invaders, alien beings from a dying planet. Their destination: the Earth. Their purpose: to make it their world.
David Vincent has seen them.
For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a closed deserted diner, and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey.
It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy.
Now David Vincent knows that The Invaders are here, that they have taken human form. Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun."
Roy Thinnes, the actor portraying David Vincent, even played a reoccurring role on the X-Files and gives a great story of how it came to be in one of the personal introductions on each episode on the DVD set.
