Enter once more the world of Roland Deschain--and the world of the Dark Tower...now presented in a stunning graphic novel omnibus form that will unlock the doorways to terrifying secrets and bold storytelling as part of the dark fantasy masterwork and magnum opus from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King.

"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

With these unforgettable words, millions were introduced to Stephen King's iconic character Roland Deschain of Gilead. Roland is the last of his kind, a "gunslinger" charged with protecting whatever goodness and light remains in his world--a world that "moved on," as they say. In this desolate reality--a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic, and yet one that mirrors our own in frightening ways--Roland is on a spellbinding and soul-shattering quest to locate and somehow save the mystical nexus of all worlds, all universes: the Dark Tower.

Now, in the graphic novel series adaptation Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Drawing of the Three, originally published by Marvel Comics in single-issue form and creatively overseen by Stephen King himself, the full story of Roland's troubled past and lifelong odyssey is revealed. Sumptuously drawn by Piotr Kowalski and Jonathan Marks, adapted by Stephen King expert Robin Furth, and scripted by New York Times bestselling author Peter David, The Drawing of the Three is an extraordinary and terrifying journey--ultimately serving as the perfect introduction for a new audience to Stephen King's modern literary classic The Dark Tower, while giving longtime fans thrilling adventures transformed from his blockbuster novels.

This single-volume omnibus edition includes the complete graphic novel series The Drawing of the Three: The Prisoner; House of Cards; The Lady of Shadows; Bitter Medicine.

Talk about a cliffhanger!

The Dark Tower series is full of cliffhangers. With no clear direction and a s-p-a-r-s-e outline, Stephen can't paint himself into a corner. Like any dream (or nightmare), you just change the rules if you get stuck with some logic. And this is what it is—just one long dream. It has all the elements of Stephen King, including his potty mouth. Do not try to compare this loosely jointed series of encounters with works such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, and George Lucas, as they have no resemblance to the Joseph Campbell myth of someone challenged to become more than they are. This animal is in its own purely fantasy (don't look for depth) project. I say "project" because it is ongoing, without a clear stopping point in mind. If you look at it this way, then it can be a "Top-star" in its category. If you are just starting the series, read them in order. "The Gunslinger" is over before it gets started, no time to form an opinion. "The Drawing of the Three" is twice as long as the previous one, and leaves you with a dislike for lobster. "The Waste Lands" is twice as long as the previous, leaving you with a dislike for Amtrak. By now, you have no opinion, dislike eating lobster on Amtrak, and cannot wait for the next installment (Wizard and Glass) Keep this list: 1. The Gunslinger (1982) 2. The Drawing of the Three (1985) 3. The Waste Lands (1991) 4. Wizard and Glass (1997) 5. Wolves of the Calla (2003) 6. Song of Susannah (2004) 7. The Dark Tower (2004) The Little Sisters of Eluria (2008) 8. The Wind Through the Keyhole (2012) Charlie the Choo-Choo (2016) (as by Beryl Evans)
