The X-Files' writer Joe Harris takes on The Prince of
Darkness - Alice Cooper - in his FIRST ongoing comic series! Alice Cooper #1
features two truly breathtaking covers; a main cover by comic book legend David
Mack (Kabuki), as well as an Exclusive Photo incentive featuring Alice Cooper
himself! The interior pages of this horrifying series are drawn by Eman
Casallos. Make sure to look for Alice Cooper #1 at retailers and digitally this
upcoming September!
In Alice Cooper #1, rock n' roll legend Alice Cooper was
never a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff
of legend, featuring snakes, pyrotechnics, and the invocation of dark themes
and darker forces. But while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his
role as "The Lord of Nightmares" beyond it, where he watched over us
while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only, someone took
it all away from him, cast him out of his realm and locked him away... until
now. And if he's going to reclaim his dark throne, he's going to need all the
help he can get!
"We're doing cool things with Dynamite," Cooper
said. "I always say that the best thing about being in a comic book is
that they draw you with great abs! Artistically, for me there is hardly a
better medium. There is so much you can
do in the form of a comic that we'd never been able to do on stage. It's just a different way of storytelling,
and it really has almost limitless possibilities. We're looking forward to stretching the
existing boundaries of the comic medium again.
We have new stories to tell, but we'll do it with the same theatrical,
sinister sensibility that comes with the name ‘Alice Cooper'. This is just the beginning! Welcome to my new Nightmares!"
"Alice Cooper is one of the great, enduring rock
personas, first and foremost," says writer Joe Harris. "Alice Cooper
has a fantastic visual hook, as he made use of the signature eye black that
defines his character. I hope they enjoy what they'll see as a fun take and
interpretation on an iconic character."
"Alice Cooper's on-stage persona, the ultimate shock
rocker, is perfect for comic books," Nick Barrucci, CEO and Publisher of
Dynamite, said. "From his comic
book debut in Marvel Premiere to The Last Temptation by Neil Gaiman, I've
enjoyed the appearances Alice has made in comics. We are excited to develop captivating and
hypnotic comic storylines that incorporate the Sinister Showman's gothic flair
and grandiose vision. This is going to be one hell of a ride!"
Dynamite is also releasing a fully-remastered Deluxe
Edition printing of Neil Gaiman's The Last Temptation, the groundbreaking
graphic novel collaboration between the bestselling author and rock music icon
Alice Cooper, with art by Michael Zulli. Neil Gaiman's The Last Temptation will
also be offered as an advance solicited book as a special 20th Anniversary
Edition. The book is scheduled for an October release. This commemorative
edition will be available unsigned as well as signed by the entire creative team
- Gaiman, the multiple award-winning author of Sandman, Coraline, and American
Gods, alongside artist Michael Zulli, and the Sinister Showman himself, Alice
Cooper!
The new edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of the
project, the first printing since its original Marvel run, presented in color,
featuring Michael Zulli's art remastered by David Curiel at InLight Studios!
