The series was written by Steven Grant, drawn by Christopher Taylor, inked by Rick Magyar, colored by Matt Webb, and lettered by Jim Massara, with cover art by painter Arthur Suydam. It was edited by Barbara Kesel. The series was based on the film of the same name.

The adaptation has never been collected or reprinted.

Alien³ was published concurrently with Dark Horse's adaptation of the second Alien film, Aliens: Newt's Tale (June-July 1992), and was followed by Renegade (Aug.-Sept. 1992) and Aliens: Horror Show (Oct.-Dec. 1992).
