The Dark Tower Gunslinger Born comic books series from Stephen King and Marvel Comics books consists of seven stunningly drawn and written issues. Each issue of The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born also is produced with increasingly rare and collectable comic book covers. The first alternative comic book cover for each issue is called a color variant. These are provided to dealers based on the quantity of regular comic book covers they purchase. The color variants are normally produced one copy for twenty-five regular covers. Color variants for the Gunslinger Born are drawn by guest artists and are therefore very unique to the series.
