Dark Tower: the Gunslinger: Last Shots

I have all the Dark Tower graphic novels, and think they are amazing. The artwork is incredibly detailed, the coloring sublime and the stories fantastic. Robin Furth's heavy involvement in these graphic novels is much appreciated, as she is probably the most knowledgeable person on earth regarding the Dark Tower world, with the possible exception of Stephen King.

any true fan of the dark tower series will enjoy this. Haven't got a chance to actually read it but as soon as i get a free minute will be my first goal. Only issue is i wish there were more stories and didn't have to wait so long to be able to read them.

Requested gift for my son for his home library. He loved it Arrived on time and in good condition.

Sad to see the Marvel Dark Tower end. I was disappointed that the final volume wasn't hardcover to match the others. I am very sad to see that so far there are no plans to adapt the other novels of Stephen Kings Dark Tower series. A friend and I have always speculated that at the end of the novels Roland has the Horn of Eld this time around so we wonder if the story would end differently if he blows upon it at the gates of the Dark Tower. I would of loved to see these comics expand upon that. This collection is a two part Sheemie tale, a two part tale of Roland's first Ka-tet attack on Farson's men, and a one part tale of Arthur Eld and the fall of Lord Perth. All are good one shot stories but to see this series end without adapting the books is a real shame. One can only hope that there will be more in the future. I have to admit I didn't picture the Lord Perth story like it is adapted in this collection when I first read the novels. It is a retelling of David and Goliath so that the idea of one man taking on insurmountable odds can overcome adversity.

Haven't read it yet but I can't wait to get to it.

Furth really picked up King's work and ran with it. Great Job!! I really hope they decide to continue making more Dark tower comics... and books too...

First off, I was disappointed that this last volume of the series is not a hardcover just a soft cover collection. I enjoyed the Marvel Dark Tower run, probably more than most. However, the stories contained in this collection are pretty poor. Especially, "So Fell Lord Perth" it is very short and pretty pointless. I really wish they had moved into creating graphic novels of the actual Dark Tower story contained in Stephen King's greatest books instead of trying to add spin off back stories that seemed to distance themselves more and more from the original creative universe. So I guess it is a good thing Marvel killed the series when they did and they certainly didn't go out with a bang. In the end, this volume is good for the completest who owns the others, but don't expect a nice hard bound edition like you're used to.

Great story series! Ready for next one!

Wer die anderen Bücher gelesen hat, wird mit den Stories vertraut sein. Der Inhalt an sich stellt für mich keinen Grund zu Klagen da, anders sieht es beim Buch an sich aus. Wieso wird hier am Ende gespart und nicht als Hardcover gebracht? Ich habe alle Bücher als Hardcover im Regal stehen und das Softcover hier am Ende sieht einfach nur kläglich aus. Absoluter Nonsens von Marvel und kein schöner Abschluss für die eingene Sammlung.

Raccolta di storie originali (quindi non scritte da Stephen King e non presenti nei suoi romanzi). Data la profonda conoscenza di Robin Furth dell'universo della Torre Nera tali storie risultano molto piu' godibili delle sue "riscritture" o "reinterpretazioni" della trama originale. Ottime le tavole di Richard Isanove. Pur non amando le sue caratterizzazioni dei personaggi umani (tutti con la faccia troppo "pulita") i mostri e le aberrazioni genetiche sono davvero angoscianti (non riesco ancora a togliermi dalla testa il Rod con la doppia pupilla conglobata...). Di qualità anche la colorazione che cambia stile a seconda dell'esigenza narrativa (bambinesca nei ricordi di Sheemie, favolistica nelle rappresentazioni dei vettori e "desolata" per le parti del mondo "andato avanti"). Delle tre storie la piu' godibile è "Sheemie's Tale" (ben integrata nel tessuto narrativo e ricca di citazioni; chi ricorda l'androide imbonitore davanti al Fedic Good Times Saloon? "Sono cyber, sono hyper...") mentre le altre due ("Evil Ground" e "So fell Lord Pert") si leggono solo perchè sono lì. Consigliato agli appassionati della Torre Nera, per chi legge solo i fumetti può anche essere saltato. Lunghi giorni e piacevoli notti.

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger: Last Shots is the last volume in The Gunslinger series. The volume collects stories previously published in comic form from Marvel Comics and retains its usual high standard of story-telling and artwork. Cannot fault! Unfortunately, when I saw the volume priced at £14.99, I purchased the book thinking it had finally been released in hardback, and would conclude my series of previous hardbacks I had collected off Amazon. However, when the book arrived, I was disappointed to discover that I had paid the hardback price for a soft cover book. This is not the fault of Amazon because they clearly advertise the book as paperback, but my fault entirely for making the wrong assumption. The previous hardback editions of Dark Tower look great on the shelf but this final paperback looks wrong. Shame on Marvel for not issuing this final volume in hardback but thanks to Amazon for making the book available.

I started reading the Dark Tower many years ago when the first one came out. These books are nice addition to my collection.

I bought every book before and all were Hardcover. This ist the last book of the graphic novel series and the last book is softcover? Really poor looking in the Bookshelf if you own the whole collection. Shame on you.
