Could you describe your latest book, One Hundred Percent Me?
A little girl is used to hearing questions about her looks all the time. "Where are you from?" "What are you?" These questions are a constant reminder from others that she is different. As she embraces her identity and culture, she teaches others that she belongs, that the differences they notice are part of what make her unique, special, and herself....

Publisher Comments

"The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."

With those words, millions of readers were introduced to Stephen King's Roland — an implacable gunslinger in search of the enigmatic Dark Tower, powering his way through a dangerous land filled with ancient technology and deadly magic. Now, in a comic book personally overseen by King himself, Roland's past is revealed!

Sumptuously drawn by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, adapted by long-time Stephen King expert Robin Furth (author of Stephen King's The Dark Tower: A Concordance) and scripted by New York Times bestseller Peter David, this series delves in depth into Roland's origins — the perfect introduction to this incredibly realized world; while long-time fans will thrill to adventures merely hinted at in the novels. Be there for the very beginning of a modern classic of fantasy literature!

Collects Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born #1–7.

Review

"David's script is faithful and King's story is powerful, but the most striking part of the package is the incredibly vivid, starkly detailed but gorgeously colored art....A bonus section in the back of the hardback collection shows how it's done, layer by beautiful, complicated layer... (Grade: A)" The Onion AV Club

Review

"Tower is a spectacular achievement, both in terms of narration and visuals....This is one of the best books of the year. (Rating: 9.5/10)" IGN.com

Review

"The jury will be out for a while on whether Marvel can equal King's sweeping vision over the long haul (a daunting task, to be sure) but, from the look of The Gunslinger Born, they're definitely on the right track." UGO.com

The Dark Tower series by Stephen King is my favorite series of all time and I have been following it for 17 years so I was terribly excited to hear that they had published the story in graphic novel form. Though the illustrations are absolutely amazing and breathtaking, the dialogue is lacking. After reading the novels, the graphic novel doesn't hold up. The series is worth checking out for the beautiful artwork but I wouldn't recommend reading it.
