American Nightmares Roberto AguirreSacasa Mike Perkins Stephen King Books
The Stand is an outstanding graphic novel adaptation of Stephen King's "The Stand" (Complete & Uncut Version). If you are a fan of either book (the original 1985 version is shorter and I have a special attachment to it, having read it in my youth) or even the television mini-series, this is for you. If you love apocalyptic fiction, good versus evil and end of the world scenarios, this is also for you. I was hooked from page 1 and the illustrations are top-notch. I don't buy the indivdual issues, but wait for the collector's volumes. Volume 2 "Americn Nightmares" continues where Volume 1 left off and is an equally great product that is worth every penny. I will be buying every volume as they are released to the end.--"Baby Can you Dig Your Man?"

American Nightmares Roberto AguirreSacasa Mike Perkins Stephen King Books Reviews
"The Stand" has always been one of those old Stephen King books/movies that have intrigued me. About two years ago I finally got the chance to read the actual book and it was one that had had a few more things added to it since it was first published, which didn't truly add or take away from the book. The magical thing about "The Stand" is as graphic as it can be reading it after watching the movie just adds into the movie and book more.
Anyway I saw this book laying around the shelter and was interested to see how they would fit "The Stand" out in graphic novel format. Only while I was reading did I know that it is in a serial format and that I had tripped into the actual second book within this particular series if you can call it that. Since I haven't read nor have seen to found any other of the graphic novels I cannot comment upon the series in whole.
As to this book it does a great job in starting where the main characters are being introduced to the reader in this sense while giving enough background that you aren't left wondering what is going on if you didn't previously know about this particular book. Furthermore it sets up the sides that you will find, the planned future steps that are being taken by the characters and ends on a few cliff hangars that will leave you somewhat peaceful but curious as to the next part.
Out of the movie and the graphic novel I have to say that both are about partially decent when it comes to characters. I don't like how Harold is presented in the graphic as he doesn't look like he is 16 and it feels like they went out of the way to make him seem more like an older perverted man. Some of the other characters are pretty decently given, though, such as Rita, Nick, etc.
The majority of the writing is actually taken from the original but the illustrations are what keeps your eye on the pages. Keeping to a King creation they are very graphic and in some sense even more gruesome than most of his other pieces. As such I would suggest for those who are reading it to please keep this book out of the reach of curious children as this isn't a book they should be looking at. I know there will be a few people who would argue with the last sentiment but that is my opinion altogether.
What really got my interest was towards the book where there were two additional add-ons from the illustrations that explained the minute process of making the comic strip background. Of the methods and items that contributed to the grayish background as well as where you could see how it contributed and also how the taking of careful pictures helped to make the escape from New York quite realistic if one were from the area and were to compare the two.
And finally in the end they included other pictures and the variants that they were wanting to use for the cover. After looking through so many of them I am more than happy with the one they chose since most of the others were past morbid and gruesome. I know that "The Stand" is a King creation and rather gruesome but sometimes, even in graphic novels, I think some things need to be toned down just a bit for the audience....
I was very happy with the graphic novel I bought from these guys. Quick and great! It was in great shape too.
Marvel and Steven King are a good mix. The art in it is great as well, they used actual locations from New York. Can't wait for the next one.
Great addition to my "The Stand" collection. Beautifully terrifying illustrations. This is my absolute favorite King story and I'm so glad he decided to give it new depth by letting Marvel expound on his ideas.
This is an awesome adaptation! I wasn't sure I'd care for this format as I've had little experience with it, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm so glad I did. If you love the novel "The Stand" you gotta see this!
I would recommend this series/graphic novel to anyone who loves Stephen King's books especially if they love The Stand. The artwork is amazing and the story is awesome.
Not ready to commit to the 1,000+ pages of the full version of "the Stand"? Enjoyed "The Stand" and want to re-experience it in a different way? These graphic novel versions are a great way to experience, or re-introduce yourself to the best Stephen King Novel out there. These hardcover versions are great as it packs a lot into one book. The graphics in the book are great as well.
