The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born (The Dark Tower (Graphic Novels) #1) 
My first, of what I expect to be many reads of the Dark Tower series started almost two years ago. Since I have finished it I have wanted to find more ways of enjoying the saga while my to-read shelf continues to grow. This will make me wait a little longer to re-read the Dark Tower series; but then I found my library has every one of these graphic novels and I got excited. Finally a new experience of the Dark Tower that is fresh and new to me. This graphic novel is basically the fourth book in

With the Dark Tower movie being released this year, I thought I'd delve into the huge multi-series comic book adaptation of the story, and it starts here.In this first 5-volume series, with guidance from King, Peter David and Robin Furth decided to begin the story byMy first, of what I expect to be many reads of the Dark Tower series started almost two years ago.
