World Fantasy Award-winning writer Stephen King, and Marvel Comics join forces once again to launch a new ground-breaking comic book series adapted from King's apocalyptical novel, THE STAND! Acclaimed writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (SECRET INVASION: FANTASTIC FOUR, ANGEL: REVELATIONS) brings the first of several limited series to life this September in THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS #1 (of 5)! THE STAND, which is commonly deemed as King's most popular novel, is a story of Biblical proportions; after a government-made virus mows down majority of the human race, the few survivors must band together in order to survive. With visually stunning interiors from Eisner-nominated artist, Mike Perkins (CAPTAIN AMERICA, HOUSE OF M: AAVENGERS), the human race is going make their last stand! Plus, a mind blowing, sketch variant from acclaimed artist Lee Bermejo and the first of five connecting variant covers from Perkins!
To celebrate the release, THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS #1 (of 5) goes on sale at 12:01 am, September 10, at participating comic stores around the nation.
Quint of AintItCool.com gushes, "This is looking like a really fine series from the fantastic source of material."
