The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born

Chaos pretty much begins on Wednesday, 7th November as DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN PREMIERE hardcover version is loose on the streets! Even though I haven't yet to read the original novels of the Dark Tower series, I have always been attracted by it's exceptional concept and basic ideas and I didn't even realise that the single issues for it's comic adaptation had already been hitting stands and bookstores since early February, which is definitely a 'shame on me'...

Following the early years of the Roland Deschain, the lead character of Stephen King's most epic story who embarks on a quest for the dark tower in an otherly world with a combination of fantasy, horror and western themes, this limited seven issues comic is a prequel to the original story.

Overseen personally by Stephen King himself, scripted by one Peter David who had writen dozen of novels that have appeared many times on New York Times bestseller list, plotted by King's personal research assistant Robin Furth who is also the author of Stephen King's The Dark Tower: A Concordance and featuring gorgeous artworks by both Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER BORN is definitely something you don't want to miss!

This hardcover edition does not only contains all seven issues of single release, it also comes with variant covers by Joe Quesada, Steve McNiven, David Finch and many more, and not to mention a bonus which is in-depth coverage of Jae Lee and Richard Isanove's works of art.

Anyway, one might wonder what's a topic about comic doing in a movie blog, my answer would be, "Why not?". But seriously, with Stephen King's works frequently seen on top of Hollywood's list of movie adaptations, it's pretty logical to assume that this remarkable work will definitely get it's way onto the silver screen one way or another... And not to mention that dear Mr King himself has confirmed that a movie adaption of the book is on it's way and yeah, some talk about J.J. Abrams was suppose to be the director and all... Nuff Said...
