He is in the prison of Devar-Toi and all he wants is his friends—his ka-tet to come for him. And one of them is coming for him even now. One of them known as the last gunslinger, Roland Deschain. And not all the horrors of Thunderclap will stand in his way! Presented by those twin titans of Marvel’s Dark Tower books—writer Robin Furth and artist Richard Isanove.

マーベルコミックス「ダーク･タワー」新シリーズを 2010年から開始

スティーヴン･キングのオフィシャルサイト StephenKing.com などによると、マーベル･コミックスがグラフィックノベル版「ダーク･タワー」の新シリーズの制作を発表しました。

Marvel Announces New Dark Tower Series - StephenKing.com

Diamond Summit '09: Dark Tower - Marvel News

現在マーベルは、小説「ダーク･タワー」の第4部などをベースに（大幅に加筆されていますが）グラフィックノベルを刊行中。その最終第5シリーズ Battle of Jericho Hill は11月25日から発売予定ですが、今回発表されたのはその続編にあたる新シリーズです。


発表によると、マーベルは2010年から全30巻の新シリーズ"The Dark Tower: Gunslinger" をスタートする予定。ストーリーは「どのようにしてローランドは中間世界（ミッドワールド）のモヘイン砂漠で黒衣の男を追うようになったのか」を描く予定。


ということは新シリーズは、ローランドがアランとカスバードを失ってから小説「ダーク･タワー」第1部の直前までのどこかを描くということですね。


それにしても、この新シリーズが発表されても依然として、"Ka is a Wheel - November 2009" というバナーが意味しているものは不明のままなわけで、こちらも気になります。10月中旬にも、これについて新しい発表があるとの事なのでそろそろなんですがね。
