How far would you go to become the idealized version of yourself? The iconic, innovative comic book series, The Beauty returns to print!

Discover the groundbreaking sci-fi horror story just in time for the TV adaptation from Ryan Murphy, coming late January 2026 on FX!

In a culture increasingly obsessed with physical beauty, what if you could be guaranteed a shortcut 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. The only catch? You will have a slight, persistent fever. But who cares how you feel when you look so good?

Those who pursued this alleged perfection are in for a rude awakening. After an indeterminate amount of time with the disease, it has deadly consequences 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.

Relive the first spellbinding story arc of THE BEAUTY, as well as a selection of stories that expand the world. The first of three all-new editions collecting the entire original series, this volume includes the first eleven issues, co-written by series creators Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, with art by Haun, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Stephen Green.
