At Tattersall Prison, a max-lock for the baddest of the bad, sleepless nights are the norm... until a fireball from the sky turns the night shift into a nightmare - trapping guards and cons on the inside, cops on the outside, and escapees in-between... all of them threatened by a hideous alien invader which needs nice, warm human bodies in which to incubate. From the outside, it looks like a replay of Waco, but from the inside, it's more like Dante's first draft of the Inferno. Psychotic Fraiser Bonner leads an army of convicts with a grudge against lead guard Wayne Jessup, whose crew is marooned inside with no means of exit. Black ops spook Elaine Farris tries to call the shots as captive guards get executed by Bonner. Farris dreads the moment she will have to call in her "expert," Conrad Gant, whose life she destroyed six years earlier. Why? Because Gant knows about the alien interlopers, who use the human form as a chrysalis and shed the envelope of flesh to produce Earth-compatible conquerors... and Gant was hounded into silence by Elaine and her fixers. Now the clock is ticking and there's an invasion to be stopped, as minute by minute, guards perish and alien numbers grow stronger, with the aim of spilling out of the prison cordon and into the rest of the world. It's a hostage situation. It's a battle between species. It's Earth's most serious Standoff.

The Standoff is the third entry in John Carpenter's Tales of Science Fiction, created especially for Storm King's John Carpenter and Sandy King by David J. Schow with the cinematic art team behind VAULT, Andres Esparza and Sergio Martinez. All five issues are collected here to offer a chapter play that's half suspense thriller, and half science fiction fever dream. Whose side would you take? It's time to lock and load for The Standoff... and watch out for those nasty, flying alien bugs every step of the way.

August 1977. Astronomers detect the so-called "WOW" signal: a burst of sound from deep space, near the constellation Sagittarius. The signal is believed to be extraterrestrial in origin. Today. In a desert town one hour north of L.A., Lieutenant Ron Pinkerton watches in horror as law-abiding citizens begin to lose their minds. Then astrophysicist Marisa Stringfellow appears, telling Pinkerton the craziest thing he's ever heard: an alien entity is taking over minds one by one and using their hijacked bodies to create as much mayhem as (in)humanly possible. The tell-tale sign: a violent twitch that means: goodbye, nervous system. Now humanity's last chance lies in the hands of hardboiled cop and a heartbroken scientist... that is, until one of them begins to twitch.

And that's all before you hit the horrors of the San Fernando Valley. As the world's freakish inhabitants battle for supremacy, King searches for the 'seed of life,' which may give Earth the second chance it probably doesn't even deserve. 28 pages, full color.

1st Edition - 1st printing.

Based on the story by Robert W. Chambers. Adapted by I.N.J. Culbard.

The supernatural stories that make up Robert W. Chambers's classic piece of weird fiction are tied together by a play that brings madness to all who read it: The King in Yellow.

It's a book that draws readers in with an irresistible yet innocent opening act, then drives them insane with the poisonous words of Act 2. An influence on writers from H. P. Lovecraft to Neil Gaiman, The King in Yellow is one of the most important works of American supernatural fiction.

In this dangerously unputdownable graphic-novel adaptation, I. N. J. Culbard brings to life a thrilling tale of horror that will make readers laugh and cry and tremble with fright.
