The 4,000 copy Artist Edition is numbered and is signed by Michael Whelan. It is issued in a foil stamped slipcase.
This is our introduction to Roland Deschain, the last Gunslinger,
published by Donald M. Grant in The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger in 1982.
Twenty years later Stephen King revised and expanded this volume. In
his own words: What I did want to do was to give newcomers to the
tale of the Tower (and old readers who want to refresh their memories)
a clearer start and a slightly easier entry into Roland’s world. I also
wanted them to have a volume that more effectively foreshadowed coming
events.
This volume contains
that expanded version as well as the novella The Little Sisters of
Eluria which chronicles an earlier adventure of Roland’s as he persued
the Man in Black. Published in a larger format than the Dark Tower
series which enhances Michael Whelan’s thirteen full color plates and
over twenty three black & white designs.
