Stephen King’s “N”
Plot Summary
N. follows the story of a psychiatrist named Johnny who is treating a severely disturbed patient suffering from both insomnia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, a man who he simply refers to as “N.” N. claims that while visiting a place known as Ackermans Field he bore witness to several unexplained phenomena including seeing faces in the seven rocks which reside there, and, even stranger; seeing an eighth rock, but only when he looked at them through his camera. N. believes that the eighth rock is a kind of seal, preventing things from another world from coming through into ours, and that without the eighth stone the world would be overrun by these monsters.
Adaptation
The story, even before its first publication, has been adapted as Stephen King’s N., a multi-part graphic video series, as part of the marketing campaign for King’s upcoming collection. The series consists of 25[1] two-minute episodes totaling approximately 50 minutes in length. Featuring sophisticated production values, the episodes were drawn by artist Alex Maleev, whose work has appeared on NBC‘s Heroes, and colored by comic-book colorist José Villarrubia, best known for his collaborations with Alan Moore. They were adapted by Marc Guggenheim, co-creator of the ABC TV series Eli Stone with creative oversight from Stephen King. The episodes are presented in a “pan and scan” format, complete with comic book–style graphics, an original score, sound effects, and a full cast of voiceovers that includes actor Ben Shenkman.

Broadcast History
The first episode went online on July 28, 2008 (although viewers who signed up for updates online were given a sneak peek at the first episode the day before). Conceived in a partnership with Scribner, Simon and Schuster Digital, Marvel Entertainment, and CBS Mobile, it is a completely new concept for an online comic series as it is available on mobile phone networks in addition to the iTunes Store and the series official website.
