By now everyone who reads this blog knows I have a Dark Tower passion bordering on hysteria. Daily I check for updates on the comic books series; daily I look for items I may not possess in my collections. Which reminds me, I should go and get my original page from The Gunslinger Born penciled by Jae Lee framed soon…

Back on topic, one of the best websites for Stephen King fans is Lilja’s Library, a fansite that has grown over the years into just a fantastic resource. It often gets the scoop on any King news, from novels to movies to the comic books.

Lilja posted the comic book cover to Dark Tower: Treachery #6… and I just had to make mention of it and post it here. In my view it is one of the most gorgeous that artist Jae Lee and colorist Richard Isanove have come up with! And if you are a fan of the Dark Tower series and you aren’t reading these, shame on you, do ye kennit!?

Issue #3 has just been released in fine comic books stores around the world!

When Marvel Comics announced they’d be working with Stephen King to not only adapt The Gunslinger and Wizard & Glass but also use the comic book medium to fill in some of Roland Deschain’s back story, someone had to peel me off of the roof!

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born was released two years ago and Dark Tower fans loved it! The creative team Marvel brought together—artist Jae Lee, colorist Richard Isanove, writer Peter David and plotter Robin Furth—really did a fantastic job of bringing King’s original vision to the initial seven issue mini-series.

Marvel was doing it right!

Then the five issue mini-series Dark Tower: The Long Road Home continued the story, but with a twist. The Long Road Home was all original content no Dark Tower fan had previously known.

The creative team handled it just as smoothly as the first mini-series!

Now Dark Tower: Treachery #1 has been released. And I can already tell you the creative team has taken their endeavor many notches higher now that the fledgling gunslingers have returned to their home of Gilead!
