Last Temptation
From Newsarama for June 23, 2000:
Fans looking for a Neil Gaiman fix will get a second chance at a project they might have missed first time around later this fall. Dark Horse is preparing a trade paperback collection of The Last Temptation a limited series written by Gaiman and illustrated by Michael Zulli originally published by the Marvel Music line. A “dark fantasy/brooding morality” tale based on a story by Gaiman and musician/rock icon Alice Cooper, based on Copper’s album of the same name, DHC will publish the 104-page, 6″x9″ collection printed in sepia (brown)-colored ink on cream paper to give it sort of an “Eisner-y touch”.
DHC describes the story this way…”Steven is afraid. Afraid of ghost stories, afraid of growing up – just afraid. That is until he meets the mysterious Showman and his Theatre of the Real. Steven takes a ticket and watches the show on a dare, but getting out of the performance will be harder than he ever imagined. And Steven learns what it is to be truly afraid.”
