5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting format for a King story collection., February 20, 2002

This review is from: Creepshow (Plume) (Paperback)

This is a comic book version of the screenplay based on Stephen King stories. The drawing and story included in the book hold true to the movie and the plots of the different stories included. King's love of the macabre and unusual twists comes through even in the abbreviated version of these stories.

If you like the movie, then this book is a must have for any King fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stephen King's "Creepshow", December 4, 1999

This review is from: Creepshow (Plume) (Paperback)

If you like horror comics and anything by Stephen King, then you will LOVE "Creepshow". This book ties in with the movie and it's some of Kings best work. Wrote in the best "Tales From the Crypt" style, its a rollercoaster ride of terror and laughs. "The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill" is one of my faves, both in the book and the movie.(Steve King is a GREAT actor, isn't he?)The illusrations are by the brilliant comic artist, Bernie Wrightson and when paired with King's flair for the macabre, well; you can't go wrong. So buy it, buy it, buy it! You won't regret it. (FYI: Stephen King's son, Owen was the boy who got even with his dad for throwing away his comic book, in the movie. heehee, everyone needs a good voodoo doll!)

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty nifty stuff, for tie-in fluff., May 13, 2000

This review is from: Creepshow (Plume) (Paperback)

I love, love, loved the movie, but only like the comic adaptation. The artwork could have been a lot better, considering the immense talent of the person doing the drawing. The stories still have kick though, they are from Stephen King after all. Fans of King, Romero, Wrightson or gruesome comics will find plenty to enjoy here. Recommended.
