    Lightbulb Other King titles that that would make good comics

    With the Talisman, the Stand and the Dark Tower all having comic books based around them does anyone else think there's other King titles that would make successful comics? Personally I think Cell would be a good one, even going deeper into the book like maybe following the others like Jordan and Tom as they travel or other survivors. Any one else got a suggestion?

    Hi,

    Well if they're up to the standards of the ones released so far, I would say all of them, and I certainly agree about Cell!

    Long days and pleasant nights

    Cell, for sure.

    Also Desperation and The Regulators.

    Cell definitely.

    I think 'Salem's Lot would make a pretty good comic book. There's a lot of history already there, and the ending was rather open ended in regards to the fate of the town. Good stuff to explore outside of the book.

    I've been very disappointed in the graphic novel version of The Stand. Not because of the quality of the artwork, but because it's the same story (although obviously shortened) as the novel. I just want NEW stories. For this reason, I doubt that I'll be getting The Talisman.

    Idk why, but a Pet Sematary series that maybe reiterates the originsl story and then goes further? I agree with the Cell, Desperation and Regulators ideas, those would all make good comics. Also maybe some short story comic collections, like a series that does 1 or 2 issues for each short story?

    Other novels: Dreamcatcher, Lisey's story (maybe go beyond the story, i.e. Adventures in Boo'ya Moon?) and maybe Duma Key, since it has the whole art-thing going anyways.

    I agree alot with John, I think that all of King's stories would make great comics (I love comics!), but especially a few of them.

    I think Cycle of the Werewolf would be the perfect adaptation, judging by the nature of the story. It's also one of King's least known works, so that in itself would create interest in such an adaptation.

    I know Nat said Regulators, but what about another Bachman novel? Something like Long Walk or Running Man?

    Secretary of Dreams seems to have the short stories-territory... But what about HIA? The first two stories can be at least six issues, Blind Willie about four, Why We're in Vietnam the same number, and Heavenly Shades could be a one-shot
