![]() Avatar Press, who have handled several Moore properties as adaptations of short stories and performances, as well as scripts written for the comics medium, approached Moore about adapting the screenplay into a comic series, with Antony Johnston adapting it to comics format and Facundo Percio on art. Alan Moore was commissioned by Malcolm McLaren to draft a feature-length screenplay of an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast including elements from McLaren’s life in 1985, concurrent with Moore’s work on WATCHMEN, and sadly, the screenplay was never filmed. The comic has a long history, nearly 30 years to be exact. ![]() The collected edition of FASHION BEAST, including issues #1-10, is due to arrive from Avatar Press in both hardcover and trade paperback in August, and since plenty of comic reading compatriots have expressed to me that they will be waiting to read the series as a collection, this review will be divided into spoiler-free and spoiler-heavy sections for both audiences. ![]()
