In the immortal words of legendary author Stephen King " The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed. The desert was the apotheosis of all deserts, huge, standing to the sky for what looked like eternity in all directions." The Dark Tower novel series written by Stephen King was originally published in 1982 with a world set in a Western with elements of the dark supernatural fantasy. The story follows the adventures of Roland Deschain, son of Steven of the House of Eld as The Gunslinger purses his quest to reach the Dark Tower, the center of the universes and his vengeance upon The Man In Black. Regarded as Stephen Kings magnum opus, this series was adapted into the comic book format published by Marvel Comics in 2007 by the incredible comic book team of Robin Furth, scripts by Peter David, and art by Jae Lee and Richard Isanove. During this podcast we will discuss the history of the series, adaptations of Dark Tower, the first arc of this story in the graphic novel collections and so much more.

Alright folks... here's the deal. This audio sucks. I mean it super sucks. Things went wrong with the recording of the live episode and what you are essentially listening to is an iPhone that was slammed down on a table near the stage. It's not great, but it's all we have. We thought for a while about just not releasing this but at the end of the day we figured....screw it. Robin was so great to talk to and even if they can barely understand it sometimes it's a conversation worth sharing. Our weekend in Bangor was an incredible event that we will never forget. Thank you to everyone who came! Thank you to The Bangor Public Library, The Bangor Grand Hotel, SK Tours, the Oriental Jade, Sharon Kitchens, Robin Furth, and of course Jody and Samantha who made this entire thing happen! We'll be releasing an hour-long chat about this experience a bit later and then be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week. Until then... Long days and pleasant nights!
The Good News is I finally get to Sleep... The Bad News is, I had to leave Bangor. :( Thank you, Bangor for the Most Incredible, Wonderful, Magical, Beautiful, Soul-Stirring Weekend! Thank you, Kingslingers! Thank you, Samantha & Jody Thank you, Jennifer & Jamie from SK Tours! Thank you, Robin Furth & Sharon Kitchens! Thank you, Constant Readers/Listeners who traveled! Until Next Time! "The Place Where You Made Your Stand Never Mattered... Only that You Were There and Still On Your Feet." Love, Kim C.
