Press release from Marvel:

The sensation that swept the comic market is taking book readers by storm as Marvel is proud to announce that Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born Premiere HC has topped the Bookscan national sales chart! In addition to being the #1 hardcover graphic novel across all major online retailers—Amazon.Com, BN.Com, Borders.Com, Target.Com, Dark Tower has topped the Graphic Novel chart on Bookscan, and made the top 25 of all fiction hardcovers!

In addition to conquering sales-charts, Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born Premiere HC is also making all of the Holiday Gift Guides across the nation. Ain’t It Cool News, Washington Times, and Yahoo.com have all chosen the collection as a must-have, in addition to Amazon.com naming it the #1 Editor’s pick of 2007.

Collecting all seven issues of the top-selling Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born limited series, this hardcover explores the past of Roland Deschain, hero of Stephen King’s epic Dark Tower novels. Written by New York Times best-selling author Peter David and Dark Tower expert Robin Furth, visualized stunningly by Jae Lee & Richard Isanove and overseen by the watchful eyes of Stephen King—this graphic novel is a must-have for Dark Tower fans new and old!

Critically-acclaimed comic book creator Paul Pope writes in PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY, “The Gunslinger Born is the perfect starting point for those who think comics contain nothing but men in spandex costumes and masks”

From me and the girls

We love you

Kath

Since Peter is off at Heroes Con this weekend and I finally finished the Doctor Who short story I owed my editor, I thought I would give you a chance to ask me (being Kathleen) any questions you might have.

The usual rules apply including:
1) I won’t do your homework for you
2) If Peter or I are under an NDA (Non-Discloser Agreement) then I can’t discuss it or even give hints
3)There are certain subjects I will not discuss and ask that you accept that

So Whatcha Wanna Know?

Kath

Spoilers allowed in the comments.

So what did you think?

Personally I can’t comment because I am a couple of scripts ahead of y’all.

But I do love Todd’s art in this one.

Kristian Donaldson is interviewed at Newsarama about his upcoming two issues on Fallen Angel. Preview pages are there as well.

And Brad Douglas has a recent podcast interviewing Peter at Spider-Man Crawl Space.

Go forth and enjoy.

The signing photos are here and there’s a separate interview with Peter as well.

Ask Peter about that puppet on his hand, which helped him become hoarse by the end of the evening…

Stephen King’s Midnight Madness

Every week comic book fans look forward to Wednesdays, the day new issues go on sale. On Feb. 7, one of those comics will be the first issue of a new seven-part series based on the Stephen King novel “The Dark Tower,” above, from Marvel Entertainment. To commemorate the event, almost 150 comic book retailers across the country will begin selling the issue at the stroke of midnight. A list of participating stores can be found at www.marvel.com/news/comicstories. Fans who flock to Midtown Comics in Manhattan will see a couple of special guests: Peter David, who writes the dialogue for the series, and Jae Lee, the book’s artist. The store will open for one hour.
