About the series
In 2011, Marvel Comics adapted Stephen King's apocalyptic epic The Stand into a six-issue limited series, bringing the sprawling tale of a world-decimating plague and the ensuing battle between good and evil to vivid comic book life. The series was defined by the haunting, cinematic artwork of a trio of illustrators—Tomm Coker, Lee Bermejo, and Mike Perkins—whose distinct styles captured both the desolate horror and the human drama of King's story. This adaptation stands as a key moment in Marvel's ongoing efforts to translate King's literary works for a visual medium, offering longtime fans and new readers alike a tightly paced, visually arresting take on a modern classic.
