M-O-O-N! That spells adaptation!
As reported HERE in February, Del Rey Books will be adapting The Talisman by Stephen King and Peter Straub into a monthly comic book series, to start releasing at the end of the year!
And since it was announced the project has been moving forward!
The Talisman is definitely one of those foundational books that make up who I am as a whole. I first read it after I had read the first two Dark Tower books and the connection between them could not be ignored. And like the Dark Tower series The Talisman is filled with great characters—both good, evil and in between—and the settings are wondrous. The kid who still lives within me and who yearns to visit the Territories is excited to see the tale of Jack Sawyer come to life!
Tony Shasteen, the artist Del Rey tapped for the project, produced character sketches before the first page of the comic book was produced, each one of them sanctioned by King and Straub. In February we showed you Morgan Sloat and Speedy Parker.
Well, Tony, Del Rey, and StephenKing.com have released the next three!
Visit HERE to view the character sketches for Lily Cavanaugh, Jack Sawyer and Phil Sawyer!
A lot more will be coming in the next few months concerning the adaptation of The Talisman, so stay tuned!
M-O-O-N!
