Alien: The Illustrated Story

Posted on by


One of my all-time favorite graphic novels is Alien: The Illustrated Story by Archie Goodwin [writer] and Walt Simonson [artist].  Released at the same time as the Ridley Scott movie, Alien: The Illustrated Story not only adapts the movie, but also includes scenes which never made it into the film.  

Walt Simonson recently spoke to CBR,com about how the graphic novel came to be, why the original logo for the graphic novel wasn’t a hit with movie execs and his thoughts on Alien: The Illustrated Story Original Art Edition.

If you like Alien or comics, my guess is you’ll love Alien: The Illustrated Story.
