Premium hard cover collection of the first six issues to be released in Holiday 2006.Spring 2006—Stephen King and Marvel Comics join forces to launch a ground-breaking new comic book series adapted from King’s magnum opus, The Dark Tower. King’s unparalleled storytelling power will provide old and new stories that delve into the life and times of the young Roland. ”
