The Last Temptation
Based on a story by Neil Gaiman and Alice Cooper.
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.
The Last Temptation is a collected three-act tale of seduction, temptation, and redemtion of a young boy at the hands of the sinister Showman. Written by Neil Gaiman, the internationally acclaimed author of both prose fiction (Neverwhere, Stardust) and graphic novels (The Sandman, Signal to Noise) and illustrated by the extraordinary artist Michael Zulli (The Sandman, The Dreaming), this brooding morality fable was conceived with Alice Cooper and based on his Epic Record release, The Last Temptation.
