It Begins! [February 5, 2007]
2007-03-29 14:14:26

Just two days until The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born #1 goes on sale at retail locations, and the office is abuzz just as we’re also working on getting issue #2 ready to go.

This morning, Marvel editor Bill Rosemann dropped into the office to compliment the first issue, having read an early office copy over the weekend. He’d read the first novel a while back, and asked me to confirm whether a big fight scene in the comic had been adapted from there. It had, so we discussed some of our favorite face-gouging, bone-crunching details.

Richard Isanove has handed in a few more pages of color for issue 2. Website Guy Ryan Penagos is kindly allowing me to post a teaser from that issue here:

And if you’re reading this, you probably already know that retailers throughout the country are holding midnight openings on Tuesday night to celebrate the release of the first issue.

For you lucky so-and-sos who are enjoying the mild climes of California – Richard Isanove, color artist, will be signing at the Comics Factory in Pasadena:

And here in New York, artist Jae Lee and scriptwriter Peter David will be braving the subzero wind chill to sign at Midtown Comics’ Times Square location:

[Editor's note: this blog was 'sposed to be up yesterday. Blame Ryan.]

Question
For anyone in the middle of reading the books (I'm in the middle of book 5, will the comic have any spoilers?

Spoilers for non-fans
If you haven't read ANY of the Gunslinger books, don't read the back cover! It's a terrible spoiler for the mini-series! Tells you exactly who the villain is!
