ALIEN: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY TP

(W) Archie Goodwin (A) Walter Simonson

Two of comics' greatest talents-Walt Simonson and Archie Goodwin - joined forces to bring Ridley Scott's epic Alien motion picture to the comic book page. This brand new edition (released to coincide with Scott's latest sci fi epic Prometheus) has been meticulously restored from original artwork in Walt Simonson's studio. Includes scenes removed from the movie, directed by Ridley Scott. Carefully restored and remastered from the original artwork.

SIMONSON!! GOODWIN!! Produced around the same time as their industry shaking run on MANHUNTER, this was the first comic adaptation of Ridley Scott's groundbreaking, sci-fi horror masterpiece and remains my favorite Alien comic of all time. Out of print for almost 20 years, this is one of those rare instances where a movie is so perfectly translated to another medium that you'd be a fool to pass up this restored and remastered edition of a true classic. RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
