Tuesday Q&A: Peter David on Dark Tower- Marvel.com News
By Marc Strom

気になるのは以下の文。

Marvel.com: THE LONG ROAD HOME consists largely of material not found in the Dark Tower books—when it comes to the division of labor, how much of this material was thought up by you, and how much of it came from Robin Furth and Stephen King?

Peter David: Most of it is Robin and Stephen. I read Robin's original outline, which was very good, and suggested some possibilities that spun out of what was already there. Robin did a rewrite that incorporated my thoughts. Nor can we diminish the contributions of [artists] Jae Lee and Richard Isanove, whose visuals helped shape the narrative.


Peter David: I've got a bit more confidence now, a bit more of the path traveled under my boots, as it were. Still, I'm conscious first and foremost of the fact that everyone involved is trying to do right by King and his vision. There's no room for egos here: It's "Stephen King's Dark Tower." We're all just climbing the stairs.


正直なところ私は、スティーヴン・キングは名前を貸しているだけだと決め付けてあまり関心を払ってなかったんですが、The Long Road Home からは（もちろん、The Gunslinger Born も）ちゃんと手に入れて読んでみようと思います。日本語版が出るとは思えないし。（よく考えたら、マーベルのダーク・タワーシリーズを無視するのは、スティーヴン・キング原作の映画を無視するようなものかもしれない。）
