3 UPCOMNG 'ALIEN' BOOKS YOU MIGHT WANT

If you're an ALIEN Fan, there are 3 books coming out soon that might need to live on your bookshelf:

ART OF 'PROMETHEUS'

Giger is doing some work on this film, plus much of it is based on his prior work on 'Alien'. I expect (hope) to see lots of cool shit in here. Maybe we'll be able to see the creative process of destroying the Space Jockey's cool factor & Mythos.

ALIEN: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY

Archie Goodwin & Walt Simonson's classic comic adaptation of (originally seen in the 1979 Heavy Metal Graphic Novel) is getting the Hardcover treatment! Woo Hoo! It also ncludes scenes removed from the movie.

Here's a couple interior pics from the ORIGINAL 1979 book:-----

If you like that, then you're gonna love this.... ALIEN: THE ILLUSTRATED STORY
-ARTIST'S EDITION-

The comic is also getting the ARTIST EDITION treatment - meaning OVERSIZED 14" x 17" BLACK-&-WHITE HARDCOVER, scanned from the artist's ORIGINAL pages!! It also includes never-before-published color try out pages, early sketches, Goodwin's complete annotated script, and an interview with Walt Simonson.

I have the Walt Simonson Thor Artist Edtion HC and its breathtaking. Can't wait to pick this one up!
