After the success of his novel Fight Club, Invisible Monsters was given a second chance, and a revised version of it was published. The first edition was released in paperback in 1999, and on June 11, 2012, it was published in hardcover, in a revised edition titled Invisible Monsters Remix . The novel has been adapted into a graphic novel by comic artist KGZ, a.k.a. Gabor Kiss.
