Two of comics’ greatest talents joined forces in 1979 to bring Ridley Scott’s epic Alien motion picture to the comic book page. Out of print for over thirty years, this brand new edition (released in time to coincide with Scott’s latest opus Prometheus) has been meticulously restored from original artwork in Walt Simonson’s studio — presenting for the very first time the definitive artist’s edition of the greatest sci-fi horror ever produced.
“Our Score: 5 out of 5 stars” "a welcomed treat." "So if you are a fan of “Alien”, sci-fi or event art…then this is a the book for you." – Mediamikes.com
