There’s nothing more interesting–and more fun–than seeing an old work take on new life in a new medium.� states Stephen King. �I’ve enjoyed working with Marvel on The Gunslinger series, and am excited about this collaboration regarding The Stand, which will bring Stu Redman, Frannie Goldsmith, Lloyd Henreid, and Randall Flagg to a new audience.�
The comics will be presented as a limited series based on The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition to give the most depth and detail possible in this first ever graphic visual adaptation.� The comic series will be available in comic book stores across the country with the first installment available in September, 2008.� As with previous partnerships, the entire saga will be overseen by King as the Creative and Executive Director on the comic book series.
Having the opportunity to visualize another Stephen King epic in the comic book format for both new and old readers is incredibly exhilarating,� says Marvel�s Editor-in-Chief, Joe Quesada. �And it�s just an absolute thrill for Marvel–and for me–to be associated with one of the greatest authors to have walked this green earth!
The series will be adapted by award-winning playwright and writer of TV’s Big Love, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Marvel�s Fantastic Four and Sensational Spider-Man). Harvey award-winning Captain America artist Mike Perkins will be illustrating the series.
The Stand being adapted as graphic fiction is truly a momentous event for both Marvel Publishing and reading audiences alike!� exclaims Ruwan Jayatilleke, Vice President of Development, Marvel Entertainment, Inc. �While we continue to publish compelling fiction with our iconic Super Heroes, Marvel is also applying that same skilled storytelling, creative energy and tremendous momentum to intellectual properties like The Stand�resulting in groundbreaking works in the comic book format.
