Since then nothing’s been said, but we got word from reader Ultimo Franco that Marvel is finally moving forward according to Comic Book Resources. Though Marvel offered a “no comment” when asked, King revealed in an interview on NPR that they would be doing The Stand as a graphic novel.
Not a bad idea, but my God how long will this damn thing be? King’s “uncut” edition of The Stand clocks in at over 1000 pages, I can’t imagine how much cutting will have to be done to fit it into a graphic novel format.
Hopefully we’ll hear more details about it soon; for now you should click here to get Marvel’s graphic novel of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born, which is amazing.
