Two of comics' greatest talents - Walt Simonson and Archie Goodwin - joined forces to bring Ridley Scott's epic Alien to the comic book page, including scenes cut from the final movie! This brand-new softcover edition of Alien: The Illustrated Story, released to coincide with Scott's latest sci-fi epic, Prometheus, has been carefully reproduced from the original artwork in Walt Simonson's studio. The limited run Artist's Edition presents the story for the very first time in a huge 14' x 17' hardcover. The Artist's Edition also includes never-before-published color try out pages, early sketches and Archie Goodwin's complete annotated script, and an interview with Walt Simonson, providing an in-depth view into the creation of a legendary comic. Signed by artist Walter Simonson - limited to 2,000 copies.
