Even though Stephen King has been scaring people long before Rob Pattinson came around for his lead role in Twilight, it appears the American author might get a boost from the actor and the film series.

Stephen King Vampire Comic Book - The Robert Pattinson Effect?

New Moon hits theaters in November and Robert, the British actor that has made the vampire craze in the last year with his broody Edward Cullen character has made everything vampire a certain hit.

Does that include comic books? We may find out. According to the Daily Beast, "Stephen King is finally taking the plunge into comics with American Vampire."

Earlier this year, King was critical of the writings of Stephanie Meyer, the author of the Twilight book series. An MSNBC News report cited an interview with USA Weekend, where the bestselling author King compared Meyer with J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series.

Said Stephen, “Both Rowling and Meyer, they’re speaking directly to young people… The real difference is that Jo Rowling is a terrific writer and Stephenie Meyer can’t write worth a darn. She’s not very good.”

Is it safe to say that Stephanie Meyer and Robert Pattinson (and the whole Twilight craze) will help the King comic?
