Yesterday, The Daily Beast put up an exclusive interview with Stephen King regarding the making of his first comic book, American Vampire.  Yes, we know all about the Dark Tower comics, but this time, King is actually writing the scripts.  In fact, much to his disappointment, DC Comics told him he couldn’t use thought bubbles anymore.

What do you think about Stephen King’s American Vampire?  I must admit I have a bit of a soft spot (hee *giggles*) for ‘traditional’ Vampires. I also like Mr King’s assessment on ‘sexiness’ of vampires (and hee to his thought bubbles comment). What do you think?
