The Beauty Gets a New Collected Edition in January 2026 in time for the Television Show

The Beauty Book One

Following news of the official premiere date for Ryan Murphy’s television adaptation of The Beauty on FX and Hulu, Ignition Press has announced the new “beautified” all-market edition of The Beauty Book One from Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley will be released on January 20th, 2026.

This new edition features a fashion magazine-inspired cover from Haun further enhanced with a striking neon fifth color printing process and blind spot UV treatment resulting in the most striking collection of The Beauty to date. The Beauty Book One collects the first eleven issues of the original series with an expanded cover gallery at a value price point, creating a perfect entry point for new readers.

In a culture increasingly obsessed with physical beauty, what if you could be guaranteed a short cut to becoming beautiful? A sexually transmitted disease has started transforming people who catch it, changing their facial features and body types to something more in line with society’s perceived ideal. Those inflicted shed fat, regrow hair, get more defined cheekbones overnight. The only catch? You will have slight, persistent fever. But who cares how you feel when you look so good?

Folks who pursued this alleged perfection are in for a rude awakening. After an indeterminate time with the disease, it has deadly consequences. Looking good on the outside comes at the cost of your insides, as that fever finally burns you from the inside out. For Detectives Vaughn and Foster, investigating the first mysterious deaths of Beauty victims leads them into a dark world they never expected, full of corrupt politicians, murderous federal agents, and a secret society of crooks and killers.

Relive the first spellbinding story arc of The Beauty, as well as a selection of stories that expand the world. This is the first of three all-new editions collecting the entire original series, co-written by series creators Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, with art by Haun, Mike Huddleston, Brett Weldele, and Stephen Green.

The Beauty premieres January 2026

The Beauty Vol. 1

The Beauty, the comic series turned television show, has its premiere date, which is Wednesday, January 21, 2026 on both FX and Hulu. The first three episodes will launch starting at 9pm ET/PT. The following eight episodes will be released weekly each Wednesday at the same time with a pair of episodes airing back-to-back in the show’s final two weeks.

The Ryan Murphy television show is based on the comic by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley. It was originally released by Image Comics and a new volume is being released by Ignition Press who also released a new collection of the original volume.

In The Beauty, the world of high fashion turns dark when international supermodels begin dying in gruesome and mysterious ways. FBI Agents Cooper Madsen (Evan Peters) and Jordan Bennett (Rebecca Hall) are sent to Paris to uncover the truth. As they delve deeper into the case, they uncover a sexually transmitted virus that transforms ordinary people into visions of physical perfection, but with terrifying consequences. Their path leads them directly into the crosshairs of The Corporation (Ashton Kutcher), a shadowy tech billionaire who has secretly engineered a miracle drug dubbed ‘The Beauty,’ who will do anything to protect his trillion-dollar empire—including unleashing his lethal enforcer, The Assassin (Anthony Ramos). As the epidemic spreads, Jeremy (Jeremy Pope), a desperate outsider, is caught in the chaos, searching for purpose as the agents race across Paris, Venice, Rome, and New York to stop a threat that could alter the future of humanity. The Beauty is a global thriller that asks: what would you sacrifice for perfection?
