Looks like they scrapped the cover with the AVP Alien, this just showed up on Amazon.

And likewise, THIS!

[Mr. Domino]

I love both of those SO MUCH! So glad they changed them. Titan Books is making me a very happy - and very broke - boy.

[Nightmare Asylum]

That stuff looks great! I'm really considering ordering the Illustrated Story.

Oh. 
I guess we'll get an update per facebook soon.
Or maybe the marketing side is plotting something like a general ALIEN re-release.

I think I liked the original cover with the Alien better.

Same here.

I'm not sure I like the new promo art either.  It looks like a crumpled piece of paper.  But if that is a faded retro looking dust-jacket over a cloth-bound book then I am all for it.  (cloth bound with dust-jacket is higher quality than just a stamped cover which what the old promo art hinted at.  But I am hoping for a better, cleaner looking cover than that new image indicates.

Old promo art...



New promo art...

I like the new one.    A lot.

I like the new one.    A lot. 

It's actually really grown on me.  Now I think I far prefer it to the other promo art.  I hope the binding is really good on this book!

[Mr. Domino]

After the release of the newest TV spots, they may have changed the cover back to the original '79 cover to tie it more closely in with Prometheus.

It appears the Alien Illustrated Story Original Art Edition has been delayed again to October 29 - November 2.
