Dans l’espace, personne ne vous entend crier. Le remorqueur interstellaire Nostromo est en route pour la Terre lorsque l’hibernation de l’équipage est interrompue par un appel de détresse venu d’un astéroïde inconnu. Quand l’équipe de sauvetage regagne le vaisseau, l’un d'eux, inconscient, n’est plus qu’un poids mort porté par ses camarades : sur son visage s’est plaqué, incrusté, une sorte de mollusque-ventouse, doté d’un œil sans regard… Avec ce « huitième passager », c’est la mort qui a pénétré dans l’astronef. Et le combat de toute une vie qui commence… Retrouvez pour la première fois l’intégrale des novélisations de la saga culte, dans un superbe volume agrémenté d’illustrations et photos couleur des films !

A beautiful coffee table art book chronicling the extraordinary collaboration between Debbie Harry and H.R. Giger for Harry's 1981 solo album KooKoo. When the visual artist H.R. Giger, best known for his biomechanical creature and set design for seminal 1979 sci-fi-horror film Alien, encountered Debbie Harry, the punk icon and lead singer of globally successful new wave band Blondie, the results were sublime. The artwork for Harry’s 1981 debut solo KooKoo album cover was deemed so frightening it was originally banned on the London Underground. The fantastical videos for two of the tracks on the album, ‘Backfired’ and ‘Now I Know you Know,’ featured Giger himself piercing an Egyptian sarcophagus and a newly brunette Harry reimagined as a xenomorphic Giger creature. With photographs and words by Chris Stein, Harry’s long-term collaborator, artefacts and sketches from the Giger archive, and an introduction by Debbie Harry, this is an essential behind-the-scenes insight into the processes of an incredible creative partnership.
