Example of some art of Randall FlaggAccording to Scoop, Steven King's novel, THE STAND, is getting comic treatment from Marvel.
Much to the chagrin of the wife, this will likely be an addition to my collection. Might also make a good Christmas gift for that special geeky someone. If you wait, they will collect this in both softcover and hardcover editions.
"The Stand takes place in a post-apocalyptic world following an unlikely group of heroes after a super-flu has killed 99% of the people. The remainders begin rebuilding and adjusting to their new lives in The Free Zone when another threat presents itself. Led by the vicious and charismatic Randall Flagg, a second group of survivors threatens to fill the new Earth with evil instead of hope."Marvel has adapted another King work, a series, recently. THE DARK TOWER is an exceptional comic adaptation of the work, focusing on the events of Roland's entrance into manhood as a gunslinger, earlier than anticipated. I've blogged on THE DARK TOWER here and here.

I don't know if I can read this...I loved the book so much I don't want to mess up the "mental movie" it created with someone else's pictures. :)
