The next installment of Dark Tower: Treachery arrives in stores this week, and Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek that you can see after the jump.
The Stand is easily one of Stephen King’s best selling novels of all time, so it is no surprise fans are flocking to the Marvel adaptation causing the first issue of the Captain Trips story to sell out at the distributor level. Marvel has announced it will be going back to press to get more copies in the hands of readers.
If you haven’t read the first issue, be prepared for some pretty creepy imagery as Captain Trips spreads from person to person as the first hint of the apocalypse begin. If you can’t wade through a thousand page novel, I think this adaptation is going to be really good.
The reprint will arrive October 22, 2008 and will sell for $3.99.
Looks as if everyone is happy to get their hands on Captain Trips. The second issue of the first installment of Stephen King’s The Stand arrives in October, and Major Spoilers has a sneak peek, just for you.
Exclusive interview: Stephen King talks about “N.”
Master storyteller Stephen King presents a revolutionary new form of entertainment: his short story “N.” brought to vibrant life through a series of 25 graphic video episodes available at www . nishere . com. The original series tells the story of a psychiatrist who falls victim to the same deadly obsession as his patient—an obsession that just might save the world!
Drawn by award-wining comic book artist Alex Maleev, and colored by famed comic book colorist José Villarrubia, the episodes were adapted by Marc Guggenheim, co-creator of the ABC-TV series “Eli Stone” with creative oversight from Stephen King.
It doesn’t arrive until September, but Marvel has sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek at its adaptation of Stephen King’s The Stand. The first arc follows the first 19 days of the Captain Trips outbreak that kills 99.4% of the population. As good as the Dark Tower series was, I think The Stand is going to be the King adaptation everyone will want to read.

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? WellRoland’s in a coma and the people who burned Susan are determined to make him their next victim!
