Internationally renowned musician of popular rock band Life Of Agony and graphic novelist Alan Robert is the creator of several critically-acclaimed works: Wire Hangers, Crawl to Me, Killogy, and The Beauty of Horror, a bestselling series of horror-themed adult colouring books. Alan has recently unleashed the sixth volume of his successful horror colouring books, where he pays tribute to the world’s most famous works of art. We talked to Alan about his latest book, his love of drawing and horror, music and more!
Great works of art have survived the test of time, but will they survive Ghouliana’s wrath? The latest edition of IDW’s hit coloring book series The Beauty of Horror aims to answer that very question. Bestselling creator Alan Robert of the popular rock band Life of Agony returns to let his undead superstar loose upon the halls of the art museum. The result is a GORE-geous reimagining of the world’s most famous masterpieces. The Beauty of Horror 6: Famous Monsterpieces is filled with over 80 pages of intricate hand-drawn designs, striking a perfect balance of horror and comedy to light that creative spark. However, before you pick your palette, be on the hunt for all the lost, historic items Ghouliana has dropped along the way, such as Van Gogh’s Ear, Venus Di Milo’s arms, Renoir’s Pipe, Warhol’s wig, Salvador Dali’s mustache, and more!
IDW Publishing‘s “2022 and Beyond” panel at San Diego Comic Con on Saturday revealed that The Beauty of Horror creator (and Life of Agony bassist) Alan Robert of Wasted Talent Entertainment has recently signed a new, exclusive publishing deal extending his longtime partnership with IDW to produce new Beauty of Horror coloring books through 2026. Robert’s bestselling series stars mischievous ghoul-girl Ghouliana, who has become a fan favorite and has just been immortalized with a NECA action figure. The 5-inch figure with glow in the dark eyes is the latest addition to NECA’s Toony TerrorsSeries 7 lineup and was displayed at SDCC alongside Teen Wolf, They Live, and Killer Klowns From Outer Space.
