Two more buys, somewhat encouraged by how pleasantly impressed I was with The Book of Alien.



Only had a brief flick through so far. The idea of a comic book using movie screenshots is pretty mad, and very 70s.

I think they go for around £30.

Ended up costing me less than that!

The other buy's a bit more random.



Nothing terribly revelatory in it, but it does have some nice interviews with Weaver, Biehn, Henrikson, Cameron, Hurd and Winston. And a random adaptation of the film with a bunch of stills, some of which I hadn't seen before. Oh, and talking of stills, a couple of shots of Hicks propping up Wierzbowski in the Hive, deleted from the final film, managed to sneak in there!

I still have my copy from 1986,in a very battered state.It's how i first discovered the deleted Burke cocoon scene.

This one's in surprisingly good nick, especially given that I didn't pay very much for it!

I also came across a near-mint copy in the early 2000's but passed.An informative read for it's time but as you say,nothing too revelatory about it-especially now with the Blu Ray's and other more in-depth books and articles.

What kind of nick is it in?

These ones?

What kind of nick is it in?

Bloody good to be honest! Wouldn't quite go all the way to mint but it looks like it's barely been touched since it was published.

These ones?

Don't think so. There are two shots in colour, similar to the first of those but I don't think either is that exact image. I'd have to look again to be certain though.

Very nice find then!

Any chance of some snaps if you get chance?

[Corporal Hicks]

I do love that TagLine.

They should use it for something else. Maybe Covenant

I found them! Not very good pictures.

[Elmazalman]

The movie novel is neat but strange:the scene with Parker and Brett in engineering is missing.The captioning for the book is first-rate,my favourite line is:"The Nostromo and its refinery glide gracefully through space.But the outward calm masks the primal terror lurking within its hull".

[HuDaFuK]

I found them! Not very good pictures.

Yeah, they're the ones. Bit clearer than that in the book, but this is a mid-1980s movie tie-in magazine so the printing's hardly razor-sharp

[Corporal Hicks]

I meant mine weren't very good.  The scan quality doesn't seem to be the greatest.
