"In the Works" 2012
New King works in the pipeline 2012...
From SKMB:
"He has an idea for a book he wants to start writing in January. I think he's written another short story in the meantime, though, but am trying to get details about that although I may not be able to pass that along just yet. "
So, DR SLEEP should be published in november 2012, and he will write something new in 2012 too!

Since he retired in 2002 King has stayed pretty busy.
If he wants to do a return trip to Jerusalems Lot I won't mind a bit
Hell, it's almost like retiring from writing made him a MORE prolific writer. Really I think he realized he'll quit when he dies...and not a minute before.Originally Posted by carlosdetweiller
I wish he would call Peter Struab.
Yeah I'd like to see the third and final jack sawyer book too.
Also his collaboration with son Joe Hill on Road Rage adn Throttle (Comic book version). Due in Feb / March tiemframe I think!

Spoiler:
Talisman 3 is a long-standing project. In fact, it was first talked about right after the publication of Black House eleven years ago.
For 2012, apart from The Wind Through the Keyhole and Dr. Sleep (which isn't confirmed for 2012 yet), I'm hoping for another original work, as both these books are sequels, though I think Dr. Sleep won't have much in common with The Shining, being set so far apart from the original.
King didn't write for the comic version of Throttle. In several interviews and articles on the prooject, it's said that only Joe worked together with the other adapter. Maybe the new novel could be the Richard Bachman detective story idea?
If King didnt contribute why is his name associated with it?

Since he is re-visiting Danny Torrance, my next request (if I had a say) would be Charlie McGee. I would just love to hear about what happened to her after "The Shop" incident.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I think it's because the comic is based on the story he and Joe wrote together. Therefore it could always be associated with it even if he doesn't do any of the work
It's the same as the Dark Tower graphic novels, or N, or The Stand -- he didn't write the comic scripts but the adaptations are based on his work.
I wonder if King gave up on Afterlife, the original comic he was developing. That would be sad. I would love a brand-new original comic written by King alone.

Except with the first two issues of the DT - The Gunslinger Born and The Long Road Home - King did rewrite the outline and narratives. Probably not much.
King has approval on all of it, but I wouldn't credit him as a writer on any of it, except as author of the source material.
That is rubbish. He never wrote a single word for any of these.
I smell a King-off. Shannon where are you? LOL LOL J/K

>That is rubbish. He never wrote a single word for any of these.>
Rubbish? Nah! King himself stated in an interview that he did indeed rewrite some of the dialogue in the DT comics plus modified the outlines. So no rubbish. I can't find the link to the interview since it's a long time ago but you can probably Google it.
Can you point the the reference for that?
There should be more information buried in the Comic Tower forum, or perhaps the Manhattan Restaurant archive, but...
Here is one old interview with a couple of the main players wherein they describe the process:
Peter David and Robin Furth interview
Here is an old audio interview with Stephen King about the process:
NPR Interview with SK about the DT comic books
Well, some people take up golf when they retire. Others garden. Some travel to all of the places they always wanted to visit but never had the time. King apparently decided to become a prolific, bestselling author.

He at least wrote "Gunslinger." And that's one word!That is rubbish. He never wrote a single word for any of these.
I do remember (without a source) that SK said he had minimal - but some - input to the early part of these stories. But once they moved off his source material, some readers were complaining that the quality dipped accordingly.
From an interview conducted by Lilja with Robin Furth:The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born is a seven-issue comic book limited series, published in 2007 by Marvel Comics.[2][3] It is the first story arc of five based on The Dark Tower series of novels by Stephen King. It is plotted by Robin Furth, scripted by Peter David, and illustrated by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove. Stephen King serves as Creative and Executive Director of the project.FULL INTERVIEW HERELilja: Were you in on the comic from the start? I guess your involvement was essential to the entire project, right?
Robin Furth: Yes, I was there at the original meeting between Steve, Chuck Verrill, and Marvel. (Well, I wasn’t there in body. I was there via phone link.) I’d spent so long in the Dark Tower universe that Steve thought it would be a good idea to have me on board for the Marvel project. I’d never worked in comics before but I loved graphic novels and illustrated books so was excited about the whole thing. I also wanted to see Roland and his friends take on that extra dimension—to have faces and bodies which moved through space.
Lilja: A lot of fans feel that the comic is more your story then King’s. Just to get that notion out of peoples minds, can you shed some light over what your and King’s different roles are in creating the comic?
Robin Furth: The story covered by the first seven comics is Steve’s story—the one he told in Wizard and Glass. My job has been to adapt that novel to a new format, which meant cutting some scenes and adapting others. (Occasionally I ended up adding and adapting bits from other Dark Tower books, such as the scene in issue #1 when Roland and his friends attend a falconry class.) Adapting a novel to the comic book form is a bit like altering a novel and making it into a film. Everything has to be visual, and you have to tell your reader everything you can via action. Hence, my real goal has been to stay true to Steve’s vision—a vision recounted over the course of the seven book series. I’ve tried hard to remember the face of my father, say thankya. All stories and story cycles go through Steve so not only was he the original author but he’s also the final editor!
Lilja: So you get a basic story line story from King that you work it into a script for the comic. Then Peter David makes it fit in the comic itself, is that correct?
