Stephen King to Launch Dark Tower Comic Book Series
October 28, 2005
Author Stephen King and Marvel Comics have joined together to create a new comic book series adapted from the Dark Tower novels. The new comic series will focus on stories about the life and times of the young Roland, according to King's newsletter.
"As a lifelong fan of Marvel comic books, and as an adult reader who’s seen comics "come of age" and take their rightful place in the world of fantasy and science fiction," says Stephen King. "I’m excited to be a part of Roland’s new incarnation."
The series will be illustrated by Eisner-award winning artist Jae Lee.
"My life changed overnight when I learned I'd be working with Stephen King!" exclaims Jae Lee. "I know how special The Dark Tower series is to him. I'm incredibly honored that he would allow me to be a guest in his world."
King tells fans to keep an eye out for free bookmarks featuring the art of Jae Lee at comic book shops and bookstores during the holiday season.
