The Alan Moore Classic 25 Years in the Making: Fashion Beast Cover Debut
We broke the news way back in April 2010 about Fashion Beast, the classic 1985 Alan Moore masterwork that never was… until now.
Here's your first glimpse at the cover artwork to Fashion Beast #1. A concept commissioned by Sex Pistols creator Malcolm McLaren , Alan Moore originally wrote the story as a screenplay. With his blessing and approval (and McLaren's prior to his passing), that screenplay has been adapted for comics by Moore's longtime collaborator Antony Johnston (Daredevil, The Courtyard) and illustrated by Facundo Percio (Anna Mercury). The series itself will run ten issues, with the first issue debuting in September. The series ships with Regular and Wraparound covers shown below, as well as a Haute Couture Retailer Order Incentive. Lastly, there is a rare 1-in-25 Tarot Order Incentive by Paul Duffield, showing one of the Tarot cards that feature heavily in the story.
