DARK TOWER: GUNSLINGER BORN #1 (of 7)
"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed." With those words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King's Roland - an implacable gunslinger in search of the enigmatic Dark Tower, powering his way through a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic. Now, in a comic book personally overseen by King himself, Roland's past is revealed! Drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, adapted by Stephen King expert, Robin Furth, and scripted by Peter David, this series is the perfect introduction to this incredibly realized world!
