Alien: The Official Movie Novelization

Alan Dean Foster

Tom Comitta

my fav anecdote about the ALIEN launch: Alan Dean Foster was commissioned to novelize the script but the studio refused to let him see what the alien looked like while writing it. As a result, his novel describes the alien as white & looking nothing like the movie creature https://t.co/FpKYc4Rf1U
