Image of the Beast is a novel by Philip José Farmer first published in 1968. It features sexual sadism on a par with de Marquis de Sade, committed by shape-shifting creatures from another world. The cover of the French translation published by Chute Libre, features an illustration of tentacle eroticism. Its cover art is not credited, but not by Moebius.

Private investigator Herald Childe watches a snuff movie of his partner being brutally murdered. The subsequent pursuit of his killers takes him through the LA smog and into a waking nightmare of sexual brutality and supernatural bestiality: the most extreme and disturbing case of his career.
