ALAN MOORE FASHION BEAST TP

(W) Alan Moore (A) Facundo Percio (CA) Facundo Percio

ALAN MOORE has redefined the graphic novel with his seminal works - Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell, and Neonomicon are essential to any readers discovering the comic book medium.  At long last, Moore's time lost masterpiece is presented in deluxe trade paperback and hardcover collections of the complete ten issue Fashion Beast series.  Doll was unfulfilled in her life as a coat checker of a trendy club. But when she is fired from the job and auditions to become a "mannequin" for a reclusive designer, the life of glamour she always imagined is opened before her. She soon discovers that the house of Celestine is as dysfunctional as the clothing that define the classes of this dystopian world. This unique reimagining of Beauty and the Beast was written in 1985 alongside Alan Moore's comics masterpiece Watchmen. Beautifully illustrated by Facundo Percio (Anna Mercury) and meticulously adapted by Antony Johnston (Yuggoth Cultures), this is another must have entry in the graphic novel masterworks library by Alan Moore.

Now Som Som's unique attributes will put her firmly in the center of an impossible dilemma, as an old friend return to The House Without Clocks, and a deadly game of domination begins...

ALAN MOORE LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE GN

(W) Alan Moore (A) Antony Johnston (CA) Felipe Massafera

Alan Moore, master and magician of storytelling, tears back the veil of one of the most arcane of enchantments -- The Magic of Television. Part grimoire, part grim invocation of things that are all too ordinary, this beautiful 48-page novella is stunningly painted by Felipe Massafera. Maureen Cooper is not real. She is an apparition summoned to screens, into homes, into the hearts and mind of the viewing audience by Carol Livesly. But Carol Livesly is not the god that creates the illusions that capture the mind and bind the soul. She is only a servant of a higher power. A higher, hungry power, as old as the world and eternally new. As, perhaps, are we all... LIGHT OF THY COUNTENANCE, an original and breathtaking story by Alan Moore, has been adapted to graphic novella format by Antony Johnston preserving every word, and each page has been painstakingly painted by Felipe Massafera to create this comics masterpiece. Available in a standard Softcover and a limited edition Hardcover, of just 2000 copies, both with covers by Massafera.
