Evaluation Based On Books The Stand: Captain Trips (The Stand: Graphic Novels #1)

This is Vol.1 of The Stand in graphic novel format. I was wondering how this was going to be pulled off in just 5 volumes, being that this is a 1000+ page novel, but so far Im impressed with the introduction to the story and some of the main characters. It seems to be covering the main chapters quite well. That being said, I think this format is an excellent visual supplement for someone who has read the novel. Anyone reading The Stand this way will miss so much of what makes this such a Stephen

The art is a bad sample of a big trend right now: digitally painting photographs and pasting rendered figures onto the image. And thats just how it lookspasted. Glad this one was a library borrow.

When it comes to being true to the source material, this is about as good as it gets! I have read The Stand twice and this volume faithfully follows the first 100 to 150 pages or so.

This being my favourite Stephen King book, I was pretty excited to see it had been turned into a series of graphic novels. Given how long the novel is that struck me as very ambitious. The most surreal bit was how closely the characters resembled my imagined versions of them, especially considering King doesn't go into a lot of detail about physical characteristics so

Awesome. Now I want to read the novel again.

The Stand: Captain Trips is the first of a set of miniseries that adapts Stephen Kings post-apocalyptic novel, The Stand. This review centers on the hardcover collection of the series which include sketchbook material, creator comments and sample scripts. It is should be noted that I havent read the original novel and I aim to do when opportunity presents itself, so in order to gauge if this is a faithful adaptation of the source material, I rely on the various synopses available online.The

Not my usual thing. Thought I would try it. Yeah, not for me.
