The Man in Black



Attention Stephen King fans, Dark Tower fans, and comic fans... the newest story arc of the Marvel's Dark Tower series will soon be out, or is out already depending on where you get your comics.


I haven't read any of the Dark Tower novels...yet. I am interested in reading them, as well as reading the comics. Since I'm unfamiliar with the universe, my knowledge at this point is very limited.

 I do know that the Marvel series began in '07, and the first few trades that came out, were 'prequels' to the first book in the series, The Gunslinger. Following the 'prequels', Marvel began re-telling The Gunslinger (or parts of it??) as a comic adaption to carry on with where the prequels left off. 

 Now the final book in the series of the re-telling of The Gunslinger is officially stated to come out Jan. 15, entitled The Man in Black. 

 Each trade has a name, rather than 'Dark Tower trade # _' .

The names of the trades, in order of publication, are:

The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born

The Dark Tower: The Long Road Home

The Dark Tower: Treachery

The Dark Tower: Fall of Gilead

The Dark Tower: Battle of Jericho Hill


The Gunslinger (Dark Tower Book 1)




The Dark Tower: The Journey Begins

The Dark Tower: The Little Sisters of Eluria

The Dark Tower: The Battle of Tull

The Dark Tower: The Way Station

The Dark Tower: The Man in Black




I'm curious if Marvel will keep the Dark Tower going. The next book in the Stephen King series is Drawing of the Three. I haven't heard anything yet about adaption that series, or more Dark Tower comics. It would be neat if books 2-7 get comic adaptations, especially The Wind Through the Keyhole.

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
