Writer Robert Aguirre-Sacasa, along with Perkins and Bermejo, offer exclusive commentary about the art of THE STAND, allowing fans to go behind the scenes of one of 2008's most anticipated series! A devastating flu escapes from its containment in a military biowarfare lab, killing most of the population of the United States, and by implication, the world. When a man escapes from a biological testing facility, he sets in motion a deadly domino effect, spreading a mutated strain of the flu that will wipe out 99% of humanity within a few weeks. The survivors who remain are scared, bewildered, and in need of a leader. Two emerge--Mother Abagail, the benevolent 108-year-old woman who urges them to build a community in Boulder, Colorado; and Randall Flagg, the nefarious "Dark Man," who delights in chaos and violence. This promotional "sketchbook" deepens the reader's experience of SK's "The Stand". 20 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Book.
