FIRST LOOK: THE STAND: CAPTAIN TRIPS #2
The Stand: Captain Trips #2 will arrive in stores on Oct. 8 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, with art by Mike Perkins and a cover by Lee Bermejo and Laura Martin.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"Stephen King's horror epic continues in this issue as the unseen killer, the super-flu Captain Trips, spreads across the entire country, a tide of disease and death. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, in the Center for Disease Control, the U.S. government has taken a keen interest in Stuart Redman, who seems to be the only person immune to the Captain Trips infection. They are determined to find out why--with or without Stu's cooperation. And what do the recurring nightmares Stu's been having--about a dark man with red eyes standing in a cornfield--mean? Plus: Frannie Goldsmith and her father! Larry Underwood in New York! And Nick Andros takes a wrong turn in Shoyo, Arkansas! "
The Stand: Captain Trips #2 will be 32 pages and will cost $3.99.
