KEY FEATURE: The Blockbuster, High-Concept Sci-Fi Thriller Begins! In the world of The Beauty, a sexually transmitted disease has swept the globe, but instead of illness, it brings physical perfection—making infected individuals thin, beautiful, and flawless. Two years after the outbreak, a massive portion of the population has willingly caught it, but Detectives Foster and Vaughn quickly discover a terrifying corporate conspiracy and a deadly hidden side effect that the public was never meant to find out. This premiere issue kicked off the critically acclaimed, long-running indie thriller series. Features the striking, clean standard Cover A artwork by series creator Jeremy Haun.
