OVERVIEW: Artist Portfolio Edition of Stephen King and Walter Simonson’s Lawnmower Man Stephen King's The Lawnmower Man is a classic short story that was the basis for a hit motion picture, which Stephen King later had his name removed from as it didn't relate to his original story. So this makes this the only graphic version of Stephen King's story and more importantly it was adapted for comics by Stephen King himself! Drawn by legendary comics artist Walter Simonson.
