Comic Book Resources - CBR News: Marvel to Adapt Stephen King's "The Stand"
This is pretty sweet news:
"I did go to Marvel and ask them if they would have any interest in adapting 'The Stand' as a graphic novel and they are going to do that," King told Talk of the Nation. "Marvel is going to do 'The Stand' as a graphic novel."
A Marvel spokesperson simply offered "no comment" Sunday afternoon when asked for further details including creative teams, format and when this may see release.
As some of you may know, I'm a Stephen King nut. The Stand is probably one of my favorite books. I've been very pleased so far with The Dark Tower comics Marvel has put out so I think this will be great too. I'll be happy if it's a straight up adaptation of the book but would be even more happy if it were a continuation or even a prequel to the original story or perhaps expanded further on the events that occur in the book. Maybe a series of vignettes on individual characters, seeing as there are so many captivating characters in the book and we, the readers, got to know some better than others. I really like how the comic book format offers limitless possibilities for this sort of thing and I'm glad King has embraced that.
