Marvel Comics and Stephen King combine for the highly anticipated series, Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. Based on King's long running series of novels, the Dark Tower comic begins with our introduction to Roland Deschain. Born an ordinary boy just like anyone else, it seems that destiny has something in mind for him far beyond the norm. In order to keep track of all the comics and extras available for King and comic collectors alike, we offer this comprehensive Dark Tower Visual Guide.
Following Roland, the last Gunslinger, on his quest to track down the mysterious Man in Black and find the Dark Tower, the series pulls from across King's epic series, yet adds a new dimension to the world-renowned story.
