Stephen King talks to USA Today

The comic American Vampire comes out in hardcover today.  The entire volume includes all five of Stephen King's contirbutions.  Honestly, I'm missing the wordslinger King but Scott Snyder's American Vampire is a comic I won't abandon anytime soon.   This comic is a thrilling ride with art that is exceptional.  Including Stephen King was a wise decision indeed for Vertigo.  Hardcore vampire and King fans love this series.

King spoke with USA Today about his thoughts on romantic vampires and a possible new original endeavor in comics Afterlife.  [ "A traditional vampire is always a taker, and that's the story of American expansion and laissez-faire and the rise of industrialism," says King, adding that Skinner's violent streak is his most essentially American trait. "The idea that he wants to come back and get his vengeance and he wants to get it as fast as he can and as harshly as he can, that's a very American desperado thing."]  For Full Article click here.

Question of the Day #40: Is there a book, short story or novella that you would like SK to revisit or elaborate more on?

Personally, I would like Stephen King to write another novel about vampires either somehow connected to 'Salems Lot or a completely different vampire novel all together.  American Vampire's Skinner Sweet is another vampire created by SK but that is only supposed to be only five measly issues (not enough IMO.)  I wonder if he will contribute again at some point later on?  I'll have to keep my eyes and ears open for that one. Whoa, what if at some point he wrote an entire novel on Skinner Sweet?     

*Post your thoughts or opinions in comments.

Question of the Day #27: Are you going to purchase the new American Vampire comic written by SK?

Yessssss, I'll be picking up my copiessssss up tonight! (Vertigo Variant Cover by Jim Lee)  King comments on the variant cover.
