The Stand is a post-apocalyptic horror/science fiction novel by Stephen King originally published in 1978. It re-works the scenario in King’s earlier short story, "Night Surf" (included in the short story collection Night Shift).
The novel was re-released as The Stand: The Complete & Uncut Edition in 1990. King restored some text originally cut for brevity, added and revised sections, changed the setting of the novel from 1980 to 1990, and updated a few pop culture references accordingly. This edition featured art by Berni Wrightson.
A TV miniseries based on The Stand and scripted by King himself was released in 1994.
Stephen King stated during an interview on NPR in March 2008, that Marvel Comics will publish The Stand, a graphic novel adaptation of The Stand, inspired by the success of the graphic novel adaptation of The Dark Tower.
