Its been confirmed, Stephen King is joining the increasing rank of novelists turned comic writers. He is revisting the his Dark Tower series in 2006 for a limited series drawn by Jae Lee. For those not in the know, the Dark Tower series was a 7 part book series that spans Stephen King's entire career and often many of the "universes" he created (fan site). Its follows the gunslinger Roland as he tries to reach the Dark Tower to save everything. Not just a world, but all worlds. Basically creation is at stake. joing him are several characters including some recognizable from other King books. Its a great series and I highly recommend it. Hopefully the comic series will be just as good.
Update: Joe Quesade, EIC of Marvel, give some info on how the deal came to be and what the frist story arc will focus on, which is during Dark Tower IV, Rolands' childhood and growth to the Gunslinger.
