Beauty as a dangerous bargain

In this horror graphic novel, a sexually transmitted disease reshapes its victims to fit society’s ideal of beauty, while bringing a persistent fever and, eventually, fatal consequences. Detectives Vaughn and Foster investigate the first mysterious deaths and encounter a criminal network involving politicians and federal agents. This edition collects the series’ first eleven issues: its opening story arc and additional stories that broaden the same world. The premise connects bodily transformation with social pressure around appearance, while the investigation gives that speculative horror a crime-story framework.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in horror comics built around bodily transformation and beauty standards.
  • For readers who enjoy detective investigations entangled with corruption and conspiracy.
  • For readers seeking a collected opening arc with additional stories in the same fictional world.

Book overview

Don't miss THE BEAUTY on FX, Ryan Murphy's new smash hit horror series starring Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope!

How far would you go to become the idealized version of yourself? Find out in the first volume of the groundbreaking sci-fi horror graphic novel series!


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.

This volume collects issues 1-11 of the original series.
