The Beauty (comics)

The Beauty originated in Top Cow Productions’ 2011 Pilot Season anthology, where it was selected for further development. The ongoing series launched at Image Comics with The Beauty #1 on August 12, 2015, and ran through issue #29, released September 11, 2019. Issues #30 and #31 were later solicited but ultimately canceled. A one-shot conclusion, The Beauty: All Good Things, was released on September 1, 2021. The Image Comics run was collected across six trade paperbacks, with Volume 6 published in 2022. Ignition Press announced a relaunch of the series in 2025, coinciding with the development of a television adaptation. ==Collected editions==

The series received critical attention for its use of body horror and social commentary. In a 2016 review, Vox described The Beauty as a “terrifying comic book,” praising its framing of beauty as a contagious threat rather than an aspiration. ==Adaptation==

In September 2024, FX ordered a television adaptation of The Beauty, created by Ryan Murphy. The series premiered in January 2026 and stars Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope, Ashton Kutcher, and Rebecca Hall. Jeremy Haun serves as an executive producer on the adaptation. == References ==
