In 2007, THE DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN topped sales charts with the release of its first groundbreaking issue, inspired by Stephen King's renowned Dark Tower novels. Helmed by an all-star creative team including Peter David, Robin Furth, Jae Lee, Richard Isanove and Chris Eliopoulos, THE DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN #1 ushered in midnight comic store openings, drove many readers to comic stores for the first time and was hailed as a classic by fans & critics alike. Marvel is proud to announce that the follow-up series has done the same, as THE DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD HOME #1 debuted as the #1 comic in March!
"The response to Stephen King's Dark Tower comic book series has been phenomenal," says Ruwan Jayatilleke, Vice President of Development, Marvel Entertainment, Inc. Creating compelling graphic fiction such as this is no mean feat. Marvel would like to thank not only the creative team for its inspired efforts and incredible perseverance but also the readers and retailers for supporting this epic series and being so vocal about it!"
"Dark Tower comics represent a creative perfect storm of sorts, and I can't imagine future installments without every last one of them," raved Jesse Schedeen of IGN.Com. "Jae Lee's vision of Mid-World is beautiful and terrifying and ethereal all at once. Richard Isanove continues to prove he might well be the best colorist in the industry."
Adam Chapman of ComixTreme.Com echoed these sentiments, saying, "I'm immensely intrigued and enjoying this series, and can't wait for the next issue to see what happens next."
The action and excitement continue in THE DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD HOME #2, on-sale now, and THE DARK TOWER: THE LONG ROAD HOME #3, on sale this May! Plus, don't miss DARK TOWER: TREACHERY #1, arriving in September following the exciting conclusion of The Long Road Home!
