The Journey Begins (Stephen King's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Book 1)

The content of this illustrated book is very good, following the treasured Dark Tower story of Stephen King. Unfortunately, there are pages I can't read because the pages are too small on my Android tablet. Those I can read are wonderful. There is no sizing ability that I can find for the pages except for font size, which has no effect on images such as these.I tried to bring this book up on my computer with the Kindle app thinking it might be large enough to read all the pages, however, I simply received an error saying it couldn't load this format. It's possible that an authentic Kindle tablet would allow re-sizing, however I can't verify that.I love the Dark Tower story well enough that I don't regret purchasing these books but it would be helpful if all the pages were readable.

Excellent concept and artwork. I’ve read every Dark Tower book I’ve been able to get my hands on since Steven King began the series. I have not been disappointed in these graphic novels. I have already pre-purchased all the novels that are available or will be available. Exceptional billy bumbler.👍🏿

This excellent graphic novel continues Roland's story after he survives the Battle of Jericho Hill against the minions of the Good Man. His survival was a fluke, but then he finds that he is not the only person to live after the battle. I don't want to say anything more about that so as not to ruin it for future readers. As usual, the storytelling is excellent and the artwork superb, drawing us into the tale quickly and not letting us go until the end of the work. The tale is told by Roland to a solitary man he meets on his quest to catch John Farson, and it is a gripping tale indeed. The most appealing character is a billybumbler Roland meets along his journey, and that adds some pathos to the tale. I know that the next book will continue the odyssey of Roland, and take us ever closer to the beginning of the first Dark Tower novel. That being said, I am in no hurry to get there, for I am truly enjoying the trip.

The Dark Tower Series is the best King fantasy series. We waited anxiously as each new book came out. Now it is out in a graphic novel. This is a great find for my grandson in Afganistan. He treasures each book and anxiously awaits the next one. His friends eagerly wait for him to finish reading so they can borrow the next one. A great adventure to read, and great to share with others who live a hurry up and wait lifestyle with their lives on hold and sometimes on the line.

The book is in great condition and feels good in my hands.

I thought I was ordering the actual book but it wasn’t. However, it was beautifully illustrated and super cool so I decided to keep it.

Love Stephen King. However assumed since it was book it would be written in book format. Not so, still written in comic format. I should have read the explanation of product better. Still suggest for Stephen King avid readers.

I read the Dark Tower novels, but have been buying the graphic novels for my son, so I'm not really qualified to rate them, other than to report that he is really enjoying them and can hardly wait for the next installment. I don't buy them individually, but do like to wait for the volume collection. The quality of the print and artwork looks great to me.

If you, like me, are a Dark Tower enthusiast then these graphic novels are a must have for your collection. The artwork is great and adds more depth to the original material - simply brilliant.

The dark tower novelia by Steven King is a worthy read and the graphic novels are a worthy addition.

Dark tower great books and the comics are just as good

Item sent back didn't realise it was a graphic novel

An interesting read, for a big dark tower fan such as myself. However, it was too short, and seemed like just a bit of filler really... Didn't have anything to do with the main storyline!
