In Alice Cooper #1, rock n’ roll legend Alice Cooper was never a stranger to the mystic and the macabre. His stage shows were the stuff of legend, featuring snakes, pyrotechnics, and the invocation of dark themes and darker forces. but while he was a legend in the waking world, few knew his role as “The Lord of Nightmares” beyond it, where he enjoyed over us while we dreamed, and delivered horrors unto the deserving. Only, someone took it all away from him, cast him out of his realm and locked him away… until now. and if he’s going to reclaim his dark throne, he’s going to need all the help he can get!

“We’re doing amazing things with Dynamite,” Cooper said. “I always say that the best thing about being in a comic book is that they draw you with terrific abs! Artistically, for me there is hardly a better medium. There is so much you can do in the form of a comic that we’d never been able to do on stage. It’s just a different way of storytelling, and it really has practically endless possibilities. We’re looking forward to stretching the existing boundaries of the comic medium again. We have new stories to tell, but we’ll do it with the same theatrical, sinister sensibility that comes with the name ‘Alice Cooper’. This is just the beginning! Welcome to my new Nightmares!”

“Alice Cooper is one of the great, enduring rock personas, first and foremost,” says writer Joe Harris. “Alice Cooper has a fantastic visual hook, as he made use of the signature eye black that defines his character. I hope they delight in what they’ll see as a fun take and interpretation on an famous character.”
