About the series
In 2008, Marvel Comics launched this five-issue adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand, focusing on the terrifying early days of the superflu known as Captain Trips. Written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with art by Mike Perkins, the series grounds its apocalyptic horror in the intimate, human-scale collapse of society as the virus sweeps across America. It stands as a faithful, grimly compelling entry in Marvel's line of King adaptations, capturing the dread of a world undone before the supernatural forces of the larger story take hold.
