The Beauty Book One (Local Comic Shop Day Edition)

Résumé du livre

Jeremy Haun ¿ Jason A. Hurley ¿ Mike Huddleston Brett Weldele ¿ Stephen Green ¿ John Rauch The iconic, innovative comic book series The Beauty returns to stores with a brand-new edition, just in time for the television adaptation being produced by Ryan Murphy and debuting on FX this Fall! In a culture increasingly obsessed with physical beauty, what if you could be guaranteed a short cut to becoming beautiful? A sexually transmitted disease has started transforming people who catch it, changing their facial features and body types to something more in line with society's perceived ideal. Those inflicted shed fat, regrow hair, and get more defined cheekbones overnight. The only catch? You will have a slight, persistent fever. But who cares how you feel when you look so good? Folks who pursued this alleged perfection are in for a rude awakening. After an indeterminate time with the disease, it has deadly consequences. Looking good on the outside comes at the cost of your insides, as that fever finally burns you from the inside out. For Detectives Vaughn and Foster, investigating the first mysterious deaths of Beauty victims leads them into a dark world they never expected, full of corrupt politicians, murderous federal agents, and a secret society of crooks and killers.
