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 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 Roland’s origins—ultimately serving as the perfect introduction for new readers to Stephen King’s modern literary classic The Dark Tower , while giving longtime fans thrilling adventures merely hinted at in his blockbuster novels. This single-volume omnibus edition includes the complete graphic novel series Beginnings: The Gunslinger Born ; The Long Road Home ; Treachery ; The Fall of Gilead ; The Battle of Jericho Hill . Review: Must have for any Dark Tower junkie - One of the best graphic novels I've ever read. Amazing illustrations and some amazing quotes in the dialogue as well. I loved the narrator text boxes in addition to the dialogue itself. I've always felt like The Dark Tower series was lacking in world building, but this adds a lot to Roland's world. Review: Urgent Review!!! - First the book filled in a lot of back story, which is great......but if you are anything like me, you wanted all the books. The complete collection, but they stopped being made. They are only releasing the first 3 books as the company producing them went under, tanked, not exactly sure, but they will not be making the rest either at all or only the Lord knows when. So I returned the other 2 as after some consideration, why bother? I enjoyed the book thoroughly, but why bother with 1/3 of the story. Yes each book, (book one was 5 books) but equal to buying the first book) so I hope this helps.

Best Way to Experience King’s Saga
First off, absolutely incredible artwork by the greats Jae Lee and Richard Isanove! The incredible story by Stephen King adapted by Peter David… Peter, you are Marvel’s “Peter Jackson”, sir. The pages are marvelous. The experience is something that which the film could not deliver. No matter how much money was thrown at it. Ladies and gentlemen if you want the true experience from the novels? Come here. I’m here to tell you now that what you are purchasing is an exact copy of what was originally provided in the Dark Tower Graphic Novel Set, which is now out of print. RIP. However, I feel that it’s an unfortunate oversight-by Marvel-to not issue this in a Deluxe format. This is honestly something that belongs in a larger format. It’s unfortunate. And yes, the book is shorter on the shelf than your typical Marvel Omnibus. It sits at just above trade paperback height with it’s hardcover. Hopefully a true Omnibus in Deluxe format will be coming soon. For this however, I believe the price to be a bit high for this reprint. Wait until it goes down a bit. Cover price is $99.99 That is why I give it 4/5 stars. Looking forward to the continuation in The Gunslinger.

Great books, Good price, poor packaging.
The item itself I can't fault. Good price and I received on time. The only issue I have is the packaging, Three large books in a single padded envelope. By the time I received it, it was ripped open in several places by the corners of the books plus the opening hadn't even been stuck properly. The books cost almost £200, I though that would have at least warranted some sort of protection. Luckily none of the books were damaged. How? I have no idea.
