Cleverly drawn and brilliantly written. I first heard about this a couple of months ago, and I didn't even know these - The Gunslinger Born issues - existed. When I unwrapped this first copy of The Gunslinger Born - the 3rd printing - I got blown away. I thought the art was amazing - by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove - and the script - by Peter David - was incredible. I'm a big fan of The Dark Tower series so this was just amazing. A big thanks to Stephen King himself, who was overseeing the project.
I'm definitely gonna buy the other issues as well.
