Dark Towers Drawing Of The Three

I’m sorry to say I have not read any of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series.  So to review the new hardbound graphic novel collection of reprints from the original adaptation by Marvel Comics of Stephen King’s Dark Tower The Drawing Of The Three would not give the work justice.

I need to read the original novel or obtain the Marvel Comics series in order to give a proper context review.

What I can do is to review Gallery 13’s The Drawing Of The Three Part 3 The Lady Of Shadows and Part 4 Bitter Medicine as standalone hardbound, slipcase compilations of the original Marvel series.

The books in of themselves are beautifully packaged with full color illustrated slipcovers, heavy paper stock and solid black book binding covers and high gloss inner pages that make the art pop.

Stephen King looked over the adaptation, Peter David provided the script, Robin Furth plotted and offered consultation, Jonathan Marks drew the beautiful illustrations, Lee Loughridge painted the color art and VC’s Joe Sabino lettered the words.

As an artist and graphic designer, former marketing director and teacher of computer graphics and drawing I can testify as to the high production standards these books demonstrate.

The images are haunting, the cover designs intriguing, the type unobtrusive and the adaptation of the novel is successfully condensed and broken down to tell the tale without compromising the original prose.

Stephen King fans are sure to love the adaptation and comic book collectors are sure to want to add them to their graphic novel collection.
