Alien: The Original Screenplay #3

Part three of Dark Horse's adaptation of Dan O'Bannon's original Alien screenplay arrives with a cover that's equal parts beautiful and unsettling — Guilherme Balbi renders a coiled, tentacled alien organism in deep purples and glowing pinks against a vast, murky void. The creature's organic complexity is mesmerizing, all sinuous limbs and strange, dripping detail that hints at the cosmic horror lurking within the series. With O'Bannon's foundational vision driving the story and Balbi's artwork giving it a fresh visual life, this 2020 series remains a compelling look at where one of science fiction's most enduring nightmares began.
