The Covers Collection – The Stand (Paperback)

November 1, 2018

We are excited to announce the first of several iconic, and highly anticipated covers by the late Don Brautigam. Don illustrated some of the most recognizable covers of Stephen King novels. For November and December we will be releasing our regularly scheduled print, as well as a bonus Don Brautigam print in the middle of each month.

This month, we have Brautigam’s illustration for the first US edition paperback of The Stand. Although The Stand was published in late 1978, it would not be released in paperback until 1980. Brautigam is widely considered the pioneer of using black paint on book illustrations, which revolutionized the illustration industry. His mesmerizing color work which redefined paperback and hardcover jacket art is on glorious display here, available for the first time in its original form and without cover text. Brautigam’s cover of The Stand was awarded Cover of the Year by Marketing Bestsellers in 1980.

    Sadly ,
    I had this poster from a bookstore as a teen. Really not clear what ever happened to it. Really thrilled to be getting a new one.!!
