We’ve got a potential new look at Alien: Covenant’s traditional Alien on The Official Collector’s Edition cover art. Earlier this month we posted about the Alien Covenant: The Official Collector’s Edition but there was no cover art to go with the news.
The latest issue of PREVIEWS magazine features the Alien Covenant: The Official Collector’s Edition, the current exclusive cover art for brick-and-mortar comic book stores (subject to change) and a potential look at Alien: Covenant’s traditional Alien! The standard edition will feature different artwork.
The Alien: Covenant: The Official Collector’s Edition cover art offers us a potential glimpse at the film’s traditional Alien.
We also have a second closer image of the cover but it’s slightly darker. You can check that out here. As it notes on the picture above, this may not be the final cover art for the book. Thanks to Matt Booker via the Weyland-Yutani Bulletin for the pictures.
The Alien Covenant: The Official Collector’s Edition is currently slated for release on the 23rd of May, the Tuesday after Alien: Covenant’s release. The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon (UK and US) for £15/$20.

Update #1 (31/01/2017) – And we’ve got an even clearer picture of the cover. Thanks once again to Matt Booker.
That's the runner right? (lips and all)
*Fixed link. Hicks.
design does look similar, including the fingers!
Oh man, please do! I miss seeing new pics from you.

Yep Corp, so true. Just too sad that the whole King concept is silly as hell and looks like SpaceCraft recycled garbage in my opinion. Well, so I have to do an own one.....
That's something I've wanted to see for ages - Alien's coming up from the ground like that. I got a little of it in that big battle sequence in Three World War but I want more. More god damn it!
But more importantly, as Perfect-Organism stated, if you are familiar with HR Giger and his body of work, you'd know that the "creatures" he created were essentially organic machinery, seamlessly merging mechanical forms with biological organism (hence "biomechanical"). I don't think it's too far outside of the realm of possibilities, especially when the design of the original alien creature had very clear mechanical features (and has always been described as such).
david seems to be playing scientist on this new planet of his, so i can imagine he'd be curious to see what effects the black goo (and its offspring) had on his own kind.

How so? We are standing on the gates of all sorts of possibilities that genetic engineering will hold for the future. Who is to say that you can't genetically engineer an organism (a plant) to be a chair, or something much more complex? It's fair game for compelling science fiction.
How often has it been stated that the Juggernaut looks like it may have been grown? And yest it is a machine.
In the Rage War series, we have a biological creature of sorts that is creating all manner of machinery.
It's an interesting idea, this mixing of organic and mechanical, and I would say entirely appropriate for the Aliens series.
Hmm I thought the snaggle teeth looked similar.
Yeah, I did too. Which I don't think is a bad thing. I'm fond of that design.
Yeah, that might be the reason why the crew got an ALIEN3 runner head as parting gift, which was a recast of the Halcyon model kit.
I will definitely be hoping you are correct!
Yeah the jaw and front of the head look pretty cool.
I think they're doing a slow progression of the creature until the other movies get around to tying up the dots to the original film. I'm not much of a fan of the fleshy vibe, but the head and jaw look really nice.
Yeah i agree. We'll have to see what's in store for the next film.
It's a shame, a return to a biomechanical but updated big chap could have been something special imo.
You're so very right, I don't think we'll ever see the return of the biomechanical aspects of the creature, its been fading for such a long time now, I used to just blame ADI lol. I had hoped that Scott would be the one who would bring it all back but unfortunately it seems he is determined to take us even farther away from Giger's nightmarish vision.
Yes of course, that's cool that it could be an artists representation of the creature in the film though.
It sure looks like the creature on the poster and it is a bit more fleshy/reptilian like I heard rumored.

And here's the cover art (subject to change)! Thanks to Matt Booker via the Weyland-Yutani Bulletin.
