The Stand

Marvel's 2010–2012 adaptation of Stephen King's epic post-apocalyptic novel, The Stand, was published as a six-issue miniseries by Panini Deutschland. This comic brings King's sprawling tale of a world devastated by a super-flu and the ensuing battle between good and evil to vivid sequential art, with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa scripting and Mike Perkins providing the moody, detailed pencils. It distills the novel's vast scope into a focused, visually striking narrative that remains faithful to the source material while offering a new entry point for readers.
