Dark Tower: The Gunslinger - The Battle of Tull #1

Stephen King's Dark Tower saga arrives at one of its most charged waypoints with this first issue of a five-part limited series. Michael Lark's cover sets a striking tone: a lone gunslinger in a wide-brimmed hat raises both arms beneath a blazing golden sky, dark birds scattering around him as a weathered wooden sign bearing the name "TULL" hangs in the foreground — a desolate frontier town that feels anything but welcoming. With Robin Furth, Peter David, and King himself crafting the story, and Lark's gritty linework colored beautifully by Richard Isanove, this 2011 series promises a faithful and atmospheric journey through the desert's edge.
