Ratings and reviews

While i own these all on hardback i have to say that these are a wonderful collection of material that fills in the gaps in the actual Dark Tower books regarding Roland's history you read thruout the books (aside from Keyhole). Great way to give face to the characters, however marvel stopped making these about the point where Roland catches upto the man in black. Well worth the $10 price since hardback used of this series can cost about $15 or more with shipping

I'm not a huge comic fan, so I wasn't sure whether I should bother...but YES...this was worth every penny and I can't wait to keep reading. Must read if you are a Tower fan. Fleshes out stories beyond the books. Awesome.

The entire collection is amazing!!! Couldn't put them down!!!! Love,.. Stephen King, and his artistic genius....his imagination is just..".gifted sorcery...."
