It speaks to something bigger than our personal wants and needs, bigger than our cultural principles.
Like all good horror stories and nightmares, it's a morality tale. It only becomes more tempting as you age. "The conceits and themes are still relevant - the fear of growing up, the desire to stay young and shirk responsibility. I was thumbing through one of them the other day and I realized that it's almost the 20th anniversary of them, but you wouldn't know it because the stories are still so relatable," comments Alice Cooper. "I sign a ton of the Last Temptation comics after my shows. It's time for it to shuffle out onto a leaf-covered street and meet the people who don't know about Stephen and Mercy and show what's coming to town." "I wrote this a long time ago, driven by love of Ray Bradbury's dark carnivals and of Alice Cooper's own pandemonium shadow show. "I'm really happy that The Last Temptation is coming out for a new generation of readers, who have not seen Michael Zulli's glorious drawings, or know of the Showman and his wicked ways," says Neil Gaiman. Written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by Michael Zulli, The Last Temptation was originally published by Marvel Comics, but has been out of print for over a decade. In the story, a boy named Steven (who was previously introduced as a character from Cooper's album, Welcome to My Nightmare) is tempted by an enigmatic showman - based on Cooper - to join his carnival. The Last Temptation graphic novel was originally released in three serialized installments in 1994 as a companion to the Alice Cooper album of the same name. Dynamite makes this announcement to coincide with Neil Gaiman's appearance this week as a Special Guest at San Diego Comic-Con International 2013. The new edition celebrates the 20th anniversary of the project, the first printing since its original Marvel run to be presented in color.
