Stephen King Bio - Graphic Novel

Stephen King - Orbit
(Graphic Novel Edition)

http://www.overlookconnection.com/ca...g/KINGGNsm.jpg

The Stephen King one-shot comic was so popular it sold out almost upon release. Now the publisher has extended this Stephen King story to a full graphic novel, with many more pages, and it's being published in trade paperback.

One of the bestselling authors of all time, Stephen King's books have sold over 500 million copies worldwide and been translated into 33 languages. Generations of terrified readers and moviegoers have dubbed Stephen King the "master of horror," but he is much, much more. This is a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into king's private world.

• Paperback:40 pages

What does extanded means? How many pages?

THe way i understand it is... it was sold out, so basically there is a market to sell more and more expensive... but the book wasnt planned this way, so they basically decided to add things.
The comic was really short and i want to see what they add... and how many additionnal ads there will be...

How much is it? Can you still buy the single issue comic?

I missed this entirely. I'll have to look around for it. Thanks for the info, Ari.

:) My pleasure.

I just ordered the first issue on eBay.

1st issue? I guess you're talking about the single shot volume, right?

$3,99 i believe... and it's available on amazon

Yes. Got that one already. But it's a single shot. It's not a series. On November a paperback edition expanded will be released.

Yes I am talking about the one shot volume. I will also get the paperback coming out in November.

Thanks Ari...ordered a copy today

Release date updated + added ISBN and pages.

Can be preordered from AMAZON

Wait, what? Is this a comic that is also a biography? Weird.

I ordered mine over the weekend and just ordered the one shot that I didn't know about!

Thanks Friends!!!!

It's not the first biography to take that form.

Not really my cup of tea though, much as I like King. But then I'm not really into Biographies anyway, albeit I did enjoy the biographical stuff in On Writing.

Anyone have any idea what happened to this? Got an email last week that Amazon cancelled by preorder. Amazon's product page shows it as unavailable with no expected date. the BlueWater webpage has no reference to it.


PS. If anyone needs a copy of the first comic, let me know. I have a spare.

Craig, I never ended up getting mine. Can I have yours?

I ordered the graphic novel from the Overlook Press.

Was the extended version released?

I am not sure, the overlook website said it was supposed to be released in November.

Amazon removed it from its website. No news so far.

This is what I'm trying to figure out as well. Looking at the BlueWater website, it doesn't look like it ever existed.

I've just contacted the illustrator. Hope to have news soon (I already talked with him in the past, so I don't expect a large delay in his answer).

Just out of curiosity; since the original one-shot comic sold out so quickly, is it worth anything?

Not likely any serious money, no. The only comics that are worth real money are the ones that are 60+ years old, and mostly due to rarity... Comics from before World War II are rare as hell, partially due to recycling drives of the era that turned many comic collections to pulp.

This comic strikes me as kind of weird, and I would imagine Stephen King probably doesn't like it being out there. He's an increasingly private man, and has always kind of shied away from people prying too far into his business, and knowing that kind of destroys any appeal this comic has to me.

Got a reply today. Aparently the expanded number will be available by the end of the month.

I am happy to hear that! I can't wait!

Does anyone know if that "extended version " was ever released?
I am looking for it, even as a PDF

thanks !

This has got to be the absolute most ridiculous thing I have ever heard of being undertaken.
