Dark Tower: Treachery #3

The cover of this third installment in Marvel's six-part Dark Tower: Treachery series is a striking, unsettling image — a gaunt, dark-winged figure looms behind a young woman draped in pale cloth, his clawed hands wrapped around her against a smoldering red sky. Jae Lee's pencils, colored by Richard Isanove, give the scene a brooding, painterly menace that perfectly suits Stephen King's Mid-World. With Robin Furth and Peter David steering the story, this 2009 limited series continues to deliver Dark Tower mythology with genuine atmosphere and dread.
