About the series
A single-issue Marvel comic from 2009, The Stand: American Nightmares kicks off a graphic novel adaptation of Stephen King's epic apocalyptic novel. This issue, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa with art by Mike Perkins, sets the stage for the story's sprawling, terrifying vision of a world undone by a deadly plague. It matters as the opening chapter of one of the most ambitious and faithful comic adaptations of King's work, bringing the novel's complex characters and chilling atmosphere to a new medium.
