NEW YORK –Through a licensing agreement with The Doubleday Broadway Publishing Group, a division of Random House, Inc., Marvel Publishing joins forces this fall with World Fantasy Award-winning writer Stephen King, long acknowledged as the master of modern horror, to bring to life in the graphic fiction format one of the most revered and influential novels ever published: The Stand. A strong influence on every major pop culture genre from Top 40 songs to the hit TV show LOST–this seminal work has been translated into twenty-two languages and has sold more than 4.5 million copies in the U.S. alone since its publication in 1978.
The latest installment of the adventures of Roland Deschain is rolls into stores on June 4, and to hold you over until then, Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the fourth issue in the five-issue mini-series.
It hits stores today, and Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers a preview of the second issue from the Stephen King inspired story.
Appearing on NPR this weekend, Stephen King let slip that Marvel Comics will also be adapting his well known virus-kills-everyone-or almost-everyone-who-form-two-groups-with-good-winning-in-the-end The Stand into comic form.
“I did go to Marvel and asked them… if they would have any interest in adapting the Stand as a graphic novel, and they are going to do that - Marvel is going to do The Stand as a graphic novel.”
I didn’t read the Dark Tower series Marvel put out, but I do know King fans loved the adaptation. If The Stand is made into a graphic novel, I expect even more people will head to their local comic shop (LCS) to pick up the title that is probably more widely known than the Dark Tower series.
Marvel has announced it is working with the original team that brought you Dark Tower to bring you an untold tale that was only hinted at in the Stephen King novels. Depending on your point of view, the Dark Tower series did a lot to bring non-comic readers into comic shops around the country.
Roland Deschain and his ka-tet are fighting for their very survival! With the Big Coffin Hunters on the trail of these friends, plus visions of Susan’s death dancing in Roland’s head, what else could go wrong? Well…Roland’s in a coma and the people who burned Susan are determined to make him their next victim!

Hitting store shelves today is the fifth installment of the Stephen King adaptation of the Dark Tower: Gunslinger Born. Dark Tower along with the Buffy comics have been selling like crazy based on word on the street, and to get your butt in the stores (Scott Johnson are you listening?), Marvel slipped us a sneak peek at the issue just a few moment ago.
I know there are people who never stepped foot into a comic shop until Marvel’s adaptation of Stephen King’s Dark Tower was released (I can say the same thing about Buffy season 8). The success of Dark Tower - reaching the #5 position in March 2007 - has fans coming back for more, and issue #5 finds Roland Deschain facing his greatest challenge yet.
Marvel Comics has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek of the upcoming issue.

Hot on the heels of the Daredevil Sneak Peek, Marvel also dropped off a four page preview of Stephen King’s Gunslinger Born #2. If you haven’t read the first issue, best hope your local comic shop still has one in stock as Gunslinger Born #2 goes on sale March 7.
