Stephen King's New Comic: American Vampire

By Alex in Cartoon & Comic on Oct 26, 2009 at 2:18 pm


Having done novels, short stories, and web-serials, Stephen King is branching out to … comics. He’s agreed to co-write the first five issues of American Vampire by Scott Snyder, a new series for DC Comics’ Vertigo imprint:

So what lured the master of horror to comics after all this time? He certainly hasn’t been lacking for work, with a new novel, Under the Dome, due out November 10. He also released a novella, Ur, exclusively for the Amazon Kindle in February. But apparently, the promise of a fresh take on vampires was enough to entice King to make the jump.

    Anyone else think this is what Kid Rock would look like if he were to become a vampire?

    Totally, frostbite. ;)

    Ur was a neat little novella, that featured the Kindle as a central part of the spooky narrative. A must read for Kindle users/King fans.
