Rock legend Alice Cooper will be the main character in a new comic book series called, of course, Alice Cooper. It’s due out this September, and it’ll be written by X-Files writer Joe Harris. Alice will star as “The Lord of Nightmares,” a guardian of humanity’s dreams. He’s been locked out of his kingdom by a usurper and is struggling to regain his title. “I always say that the best thing about being in a comic book is that they draw you with great abs!” quipped Cooper.
“Artistically, for me there is hardly a better medium. There is so much you can do in the form of a comic that we’d never been able to do on stage. It’s just a different way of storytelling, and it really has almost limitless possibilities. We’re looking forward to stretching the existing boundaries of the comic medium again. We have new stories to tell, but we’ll do it with the same theatrical, sinister sensibility that comes with the name ‘Alice Cooper.’ This is just the beginning! Welcome to my NEW nightmares!”
