In a move that can only continue to elevate the literary and commercial cachet of the graphic novel format, sources say that bestselling novelist Stephen King has agreed to write a new installment of his Dark Tower series as a graphic novel to be published in 2006.
A spokesperson for Marvel Comics, which will announce the deal on Friday, confirmed that they will publish a King work, although they didn\'t disclose details. Marvel was dropping hints about a possible King book at this year\'s Comic-con in July. Sources say that the new Dark Tower installment will be published first as a comic book periodical beginning in April and later released as a Marvel hardcover in the fall of 2006. The artist on the book will be veteran comics illustrator Jae Lee and the colorist is Richard Isanove, who won a recent Quill Award for his work on Marvel\'s 1602.
Sounds good. :)

I guess no one reads anymore, at least comic books.

i was never that big into comics, i was big into superheros and all that, but mainly tv series and such.

Its actually a series of books, rather good books written by Stephen King.
Its just the next installment in the series will be a graphic novel.
Personally I\'d prefer a good old fashion book, but this seems cool.

Ehhhh...a dark tower comic book doesn\'t excite me much.
Drawing of the three and Wastelands were superb...I couldn\'t freakin\' wait for the rest. Wizard and Glass was...a pretty good story. The Wolves and Susannah books...also ehhhh. I\'ve read all but the very last book, which is a testament to how much a care about the characters now.
I\'ll grab the last one when it\'s released on paperback.

Latest one is best.
Trust me.
