Although it may be difficult to believe, last year marked the 40th anniversary of Ridley Scott's Alien, and to celebrate, Titan Books gathered together an eclectic team of artists to pay tribute to H.R. Giger's gorgeously haunting visuals with original artwork of their own in Alien: 40 Years 40 Artists. With the new hardcover collection coming out on August 11th, we've been provided with an exclusive preview featuring stunning, scary good artwork by David Benzal, Dane Hallett, Justin ‘Vberkvlt’ Bartlett, and Marta Lech.
You can view new takes on the Xenomorph, Ripley, and the Facehugger in our exclusive preview below, and to learn more about Alien: 40 Years 40 Artists, visit Titan Books and Amazon.
