They didn’t know I was a fanatical King and Creepshow fan so the squealing like a girl from my end of the phone probably came as a shock to them,” Jones explained.
“ Creepshow for me started way way back in late 85 early 86 as Marvel Comics was going to do a adaptation of Creepshow II and for whatever reason asked me if I’d do the classic King story, the Raft. Kelley Jones was brought on board to adapt The Raft, but alas, rights issues got in the way and ultimately killed the project.Īll these years later, Jones has taken to Facebook to share never-before-seen pages from his adaptation of The Raft, while also explaining what happened back in the mid-late 1980s.

Speaking with Slate, Stephen King defended his stance against Twitter and Elon Musk.
