About the series
In this 2024 Image Comics miniseries, writer Steve Niles and artist Piotr Kowalski adapt Stephen King's classic psychological thriller into a claustrophobic four-issue horror comic. The story follows celebrated novelist Paul Sheldon, who after a car accident is rescued and held captive by his "number one fan," Annie Wilkes, forcing him to write a new novel to her liking. Kowalski's stark, oppressive artwork captures the relentless tension of the original novel, while Niles distills the narrative into a tight, visceral experience. This series stands as a faithful and chilling graphic interpretation of King's tale of obsession and survival.
