Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Coraline, American Gods) brings
shock rocker Alice Cooper's concept album to life in a surreal sideshow of the
soul! Join a young boy named Steven on a surreal journey of the soul, as an
enigmatic and potentially dangerous Showman seduces him into joining his
carnival.
Celebrate the 20th Anniversary of this seminal Gaiman work, returned to
print for the first time in over a decade. Fully remastered in color, this
Deluxe Edition incorporates complete scripts to all three chapters,
black-and-white thumbnail art of pre-colored pages, an original outline of the
project by Neil Gaiman, and a collection of letters between shock rocker Alice
Cooper and the author!
"I'm really happy that The Last Temptation is coming out
for a new generation of readers, who have not seen Michael Zulli's
glorious drawings, or know of the Showman and his wicked ways," says Neil
Gaiman. "I wrote this a long time ago, driven by love of Ray
Bradbury's dark carnivals and of Alice Cooper's own pandemonium
shadow show. It's time for it to shuffle out onto a leaf-covered street
and meet the people who don't know about Stephen and Mercy and show
what's coming to town."
