Monday Madness THE STAND "Afterward"

...here's the personal notes of the writer, penciler, color artist, and editor of the maxi mini-series that, combined can be considered the War & Peace of graphic storytelling!
Roberto Aguirre-Sacsca is currently the executive producer/creative director of the various Archie Comics TV shows including Riverdale, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Katy Keene, as well as the CEO of Archie Comics!
Mike Perkins continues to work for both Marvel and DC, usually both penciling and inking (a rarity in the business)!
Laura Martin may have started as a colorist, but she's now considered one of the preeminent color artists in the comics field, enhancing great illustrations and salvaging bad artwork!
Editor Ralph Macchio is now retired, no doubt exhausted from working on The Stand!
Sadly, he has no on-line presence I can link to!
He is not the actor who plays The Karate Kid nor is he related to him an any way!

Monday Madness THE STAND: NIGHT HAS COME "Finale" Part 1

SPOILERS:
This is the conclusion of the mega-adaptation of Stephen King's mega-novel.

Read no further if you don't want to know how the book ends!
OTOH, if you want to see how it compares to the ending of the CBS All-Access mini-series, jump in!
To Be Continued

Previously, we brought you the opening chapter of the multi-miniseries adaptation HERE!
Now that the TV mini-series is airing, we thought now would be the right time to present the finale so you could contrast-and-compare!
Trivia: Marvel needed six mini-series from 2008 to 2012 to adapt the 1990 revised and expanded edition of the already-massive 1978 novel!
Randall Flagg, a character who appears in many of King's stories, unifying them into one "multiverse", makes his debut in The Stand novel.
But, in comics, he premiered in Marvel's Dark Tower adaptation, which was published before The Stand!
