Set Description:
If I remember correctly, I first read The Gunslinger when I was in 5th or 6th grade and was immediately hooked on the tale of Roland of Gilead. Its unfortunate that it would be another dozen years or so until I could complete the series, since Stephen King took some time finding his inspiration for the final 3 novels.
In my opinion, its easily the best Stephen King, not to mention one of the best fictional series, ever written.
I am thrilled Marvel decided to make a comic series out of Roland's world, adding the illustrative element brings a whole new dimension to the story. With some luck I can hopefully assemble an entire 9.8 run.
