The Book of Alien [Paperback]

This was actually reissued quite a few years back. I still have the original. Wondering why they are doing it again? Hmmmmm Prometheus

lol...I'm sure that's the reason. They have my money! Now if I can only get a hold of a Prometheus or Alien T-Shirt!

They are re-releasing alot of things in June for the Prometheus release. Heavy Metal is reissuing the comic and this book as you saw, I am looking forward to "Art of Prometheus" concept art coming out in June as well. I am eager to see what NECA is making as well....can never have enough Alien Statutes in your house.

Here is the tread I started with all that Amazon was preparing to release in May, [url=http://www.prometheus-movie.com/community/forums/topic/1827]Alien: Illustrated Story[/url]

Looks like Alien is living a third youth. Not bad for a non prequel! In addition, Empire magazine is giving a copy of Alien Vault to all the new subscribers.

exciting stuff Cain1977, I want ALL the merchandise including some kind of working model of the Derelict with Frantz, Ripley8, BugHunter, Snorky and Biomechanic sitting on top of it waving at us all...lmfao. Edit; I have The Alien Vault and absolutely LOVE it!!!

The "Alien:Vault" is awesome, sits right next to my Alien Blu-Ray set. So much information in there and I like to think Scott will some of the ideas he did not get to use in the first Alien film, with a new twist of course.

all this re-issuing of ALIEN related books is great news, i just hope that along with the rest, that they put out a graphic film novel of PROMETHEUS much the way they did for ALIEN [img]http://xenomorph.org/images/books/aliennovel.jpg[/img] i was lucky enough to find a first run copy of this book a long time ago, i cherish this book, along with my ALIEN: Illustrated Story, etc...

I make a point of keeping it displayed in my living room at close proximity to my couch for easy reference and trivia response. LMFAO. Edit; Damn that cover makes me aroused !!! Superb man...just superb !!!

I wonder if Heavy Metal is going to do "Prometheus" as well, then they could release and "Alien" and "Prometheus" together, also I like to see a book released of Ron Cobb's work for the Alien series....

I would love that man...I could see this thing easily inspiring a whole new generation of comic artists as well...that Cobb Idea is great man...nice call...me too !!!

I would hope so, this is the most anticipated film of the summer, a sleeper hit. I can not wait to see the film and the things that were created, from Creature designs to the sets....will inspire me for my Graphics Class...I need some inspiration.

@clovenberg: i got the ALIEN photo book at a comic book convention here in Lost Angeles back in the late 1980s. you can now find the book online it's well worth it, the book basically a frame-by-frame representation to ALIEN

They are re-releasing the Alien picture book this May or June I believe but you can find the old one on Amazon.com, I saw it there a few times.

I found the Alien picture book on Ebay a few years ago. Had it back when it first came out, but it was stolen when I took it to school. Also have "The Book of Alien" somewhere, but I know it's in bad shape (cover falling off, pages bent from years of page turning, etc) as is my copy of illustrated Alien (comic book). Glad to see they're re-releasing all of these gems.
