See How ‘Alien’ Almost Looked In This Exclusive Concept Artwork

It’s been 35 years since “Alien” first taught audiences to scream in space, and just in time for the anniversary Titan Books is releasing a book featuring art – and photography – rarely seen before from the series.

Take a look below for some sneak peaks at the book, titled “Alien – The Archive,” which hits stores October 28… Including two aliens from “Alien: Resurrection” that look vastly different from the ones that ended up on screen.
