In a world that has moved on, young Roland Deschain will one day be known as the Gunslinger-but for now, he is merely a boy on the cusp of manhood. For years, his fate has been manipulated by the sorcerer known as Marten Broadcloak, who serves the Crimson King-an immortal shape-shifter living only to destroy the legendary Dark Tower: the axis of creation upon which all worlds revolve. And for the Crimson King’s plans to succeed, Roland must be destroyed.
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.
The second special alternative comic book cover for each Dark Tower Gunslinger Born issues is called a sketch variant cover. These are in black and white and are drawn by the comic book series artist Jae Lee. Sketch variants are also sold to dealers based on their quantity of regular covers purchased. The Gunslinger Born sketch variant covers are two to three times rarer that color variants as only one copy is sold for each fifty or seventy-five regular covers.
