Giger's Alien
The deluxe hardback edition of H. R. Giger’s illustrated work that went into designing the iconic Xenomorph for the film Alien, featuring remastered images from the Giger Museum archives and a foreword from Timothy Leary.
Originally published in 1979, Giger's Alien is the ultimate illustrated diary on Giger's involvement in the making of the movie Alien and its titular monster, the Xenomorph.
The classic status of Alien, the movie, is in large part due to Academy-Award winning artist and designer H. R. Giger. This book provides a complete illustrated record of the months of painstaking work that went into designing the most frightening movie monster of them all.
This perennial bestseller takes the form of a high-quality illustrated diary, featuring sketches, original paintings, on-set photographs and stills from the finished movie; this is an exquisite blend of words and pictures. A must-buy for fans of H.R. Giger, Alien and science fiction films in general.
