The Stand: Captain Trips

The Stand: Captain Trips is a five-issue comic book miniseries, the first of six The Stand series by Marvel Comics, adapting Stephen King's 1978 novel of the same name. It was overseen by King, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, illustrated by Mike Perkins, and colored by Laura Martin. "Captain Trips" refers to both the title of the first third of The Stand and of a slang term used within the novel for a viral biological weapon that obliterates a significant portion of the world's human population.

A promotional sketchbook for the series was released in July 2007.[citation needed]

A collected edition of the mini-series was released on March 11, 2009. It included all five issues of the series, as well as the previously released Sketchbook, a comprehensive cover gallery, and additional pages on the series's development (e.g., character sketches, script pages, sketch pages).[citation needed]

Artist Mike Perkins appeared at a midnight signing at Midtown Comics in Times Square, Manhattan to promote the book. Perkins appeared with Peter David, the co-writer of Marvel's Dark Tower comics, who was present to promote the publication of The Dark Tower: Treachery.
