Stephen King's The Stand Comic Book Preview
By George 'El Guapo' Roush on September 8, 2008
Former happy ending massage therapist Rene Rosa of UGO has a 6 page sneak peek at the new Stephen King The Stand comic book adaptation.
No longer will you stare at that copy your little brother gave you ten years ago and think, "I can't believe this is a bigger book than the Bible and War & Peace combined" or, "I wonder if I could bludgeon my entire family to death with a Stephen King hardcover."
It begins here: the apocalyptic epic battle between good and evil based on the classic bestseller by master of horror Stephen King! On a secret army base in the Californian desert, something has gone horribly, terribly wrong. Something that will send Charlie Campion and his wife and daughter fleeing in the middle of the night. Unfortunately for the Campion family--and the rest of America--they are unaware that all three of them are carrying a deadly cargo: A virus that will spread from person to person like wildfire, triggering a massive wave of disease and death, prefacing humanity's last stand! Be there as writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Secret Invasion: Fantastic Four) teams with artist Mike Perkins (Captain America) for the first arc in the next great Stephen King event!Click the picture below to check out UGO's exclusive preview!

Oh c'mon George, this book kicks ass, it's still King's best (maybe comparable to BAG OF BONES). I sure wish I could get the comic book (I'm in Venezuela), it looks extremely dope.
