The Gunslinger Born (Stephen King's The Dark Tower: Beginnings Book 1)

Enter once more the world of Roland Deschainâ€”and the world of the Dark Tower...now presented in a stunning graphic novel 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.

â€œThe man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed.â€ With these unforgettable words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen Kingâ€™s iconic character Roland Deschain of Gilead. Roland is the last of his kind, a â€œgunslingerâ€ charged with protecting whatever goodness and light remains in his worldâ€”a world that â€œmoved on,â€ as they say. In this desolate realityâ€”a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic, and yet one that mirrors our own in frightening waysâ€”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 Stephen King's The Dark Tower: Beginnings, 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 coming-of-age is revealed. Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, plotted by longtime Stephen King expert Robin Furth, and scripted by New York Times bestselling author Peter David, Beginnings is an extraordinary and terrifying journey into Rolandâ€™s originsâ€”ultimately serving as the perfect introduction for new readers to Stephen Kingâ€™s modern literary classic The Dark Tower, while giving longtime fans thrilling adventures merely hinted at in his blockbuster novels.

Bringing the dramatic history of Roland into chronological orderâ€”as originally published in the novels The Gunslinger and Wizard and Glassâ€”The Gunslinger Born begins with a reckless act of courage that gains Roland his first set of guns and earns him and his friends, Cuthbert Allgood and Alain Johns, a special mission to the town of Hambry...not only for their personal safety but on behalf of the Affiliationâ€”an alliance resisting the ruinous advance of â€œthe Good Man,â€ a monster named John Farson. But the expedition will quickly become Rolandâ€™s first experience of the evil forces that he will encounter again and again throughout his life, and in a myriad of guises. And he will also discover the overwhelming power and pain of true love, through which, more than anything, he will learn beyond a shadow of a doubt what things are worth killing for....
