The Beauty Book One

How far would you go to become the idealized version of yourself? The Beauty returns to print with a landmark sci-fi horror saga that expanded the world of Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. This first volume collects the initial arc - eleven issues plus a selection of stories - that launches a bleak, stylish investigation into a culture obsessed with physical perfection. A mysterious sexually transmitted disease mutates faces and bodies toward society's ideal form, but at the cost of a burning fever and a deadly inside-out fate. Detectives Vaughn and Foster navigate a shadowy landscape of corrupt politicians, federal agents, and a secret cabal as they uncover the system behind the beauty craze. With art by Stephen Green and guest contributors Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Haun himself, The Beauty Book One pairs razor-sharp storytelling with striking visuals in a creator-owned sensation that ties into a TV adaptation on FX in 2026.
