About
ABOUT ALBERT THE ALIEN…
Albert the Alien is a multi-Harvey Award nominated (Best Online Comics 2015, 2016) all-ages sci-fi adventure series about the first foreign exchange student from another planet. Inspired by the Saturday morning cartoons of the 80s and 90s, this webcomic series updates for free on AlbertTheAlien.com on Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as on Mark Waid’s www.Thrillbent.com.
Created by Trevor Mueller (with characters designed by Gabo), Albert the Alien first appeared in the educational anthology Reading with Pictures, which was nominated for two Harvey Awards in 2010. He stems from Trevor’s experiences growing up as a nerdy kid among peers that were not interested in the same things (like art, comics, and video games), and has strong themes around making new friends, having fun adventures, using your imagination, and anti-bullying.
ABOUT THE STORY:
Albert the Alien is just a normal everyday kid…from another planet!
He’s come to Earth to lean about humans as the first intergalactic foreign exchange student. And when Albert’s involved, even the ordinary becomes extraordinary.

Dear Mueller and Gabo,
You may not remember me but I met you about 2 years ago on comic book day. Me and my dad saw you two selling your comic book. He decided to buy one and I agreed. So once I got home I darted to read the book. After a long time i decide to reread the book. I flip through the pages and see that Martin is wearing a puffy vest with a jean jacket similar to Marty McFly from the film Back To The Future. I also noticed that Doctor Emma Brown is similar to Doctor Emmet Brown also from Back To The Future Part II. I wanted to know if this was a reference to the films. Please reply as soon as possible.
Sincerely, Frank
