Kurtzman said, “The book takes elements from the original story and elements from the screenplay but expands them in ways the film never could. In prose, we’re able to dive deeper and explore moments that only existed between the lines of the script. Some action plays out differently here, some scenes unfold in new ways, and there are variations that fans of the movie will immediately notice. The core of the story is the same, but the experience is richer, more internal, and in some places entirely new. My hope is that longtime fans will enjoy seeing this alternate version of a world they already know so well, and that new readers will discover the same strange, pulpy, genre-bending energy that sparked the whole thing in the first place.”
All editions will include an introduction by legendary special makeup effects artist (and Sex Machine himself) Tom Savini, and a foreword by Robert Kurtzman.
The hardcover edition will also feature an exclusive gallery of storyboards and concept art, along with the full original treatment.
