Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born

An event almost two years in the making, Stephen King’s Dark Tower series finally arrives on comic shelves. Plotted by King’s personal research assistant on all things Dark Tower, Robin Furth, and scripted by comics legend Peter David (Incredible Hulk, Fallen Angel) with art by Jae Lee (Namor, Hellshock), the series is personally overseen by Stephen King himself.

The title offers a look at the origins of the gunslinger Roland Deschain and goes into detail on what made him what he is.
