    Yes!!! Along with one supremely crabby motherfucker who only collects "Proofs". What the fuck is that all about? LOL LOL LOL J/K








    John, is the "proof" man!!! And not quite as "crabby" as he would have you believe!!! LOL


    Stupid question (sorry): what exactly are proofs?
    A proof is a production that a publisher issues before the actual trade edition is put out. Here's the link to my collection:

    http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/...-jhanic-proofs

    We also have a thread concerning proofs in Calvin's Corner:

    And an entire forum devoted to them:

    When I was in middle school I bought The Gunslinger but never finished The Drawing of the Three. I revisited the series last year just because I guess. I keep on choosing professions that require a lot of certification and it has become a habit to read Stephen King while I am studying for a big test and after reading The Stand and IT The Dark Tower was next.

    Who is your favorite charcter?

    I guess, like everyone else, Roland. Although I like Cuthbert an awful lot.

    Hey, having a habit of reading King is the best kind of habit, in my opinion.
    Also, yes to Cuthbert. To be honest, I think Cuthbert was and is the only reason behind my wanting to read The Dark Tower comics. He is just such an instantly likable character, that I just want more and more of him. But, since this isn't a Cuthbert discussion thread, I'll get to the point and say Welcome to the site!

    Hello, all. I am called Brett, so I am. Glad to be a part of your community, thankee-sai.

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    I had been reading King ever since I started getting into full-length novels as a kid. I frequently considered starting the DT series, but always stayed away from it because I had heard that it was heavy on the fantasy, and that whole genre was of no interest to me. Eventually, the final three books were all released and I saw how big of a deal that was, so I said "what the hell" and decided to give it a try. Best decision I've ever made.

    Who is your favorite charcter?

    Most of the time it's Roland. Every time I re-read it, though, other characters rise and fall on my list.

    What is your favorite book?

    Book 7: The Dark Tower. By far. They're all great, of course, but book 7 is my favorite.

    How old are you?

    29. I'll be 30 in April.

    Where are you from?

    Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A. Currently live in Deerfield, WI.

    do you have a nickname?

    No. But I often use "Sigglecow" as a self-assigned nickname. It's the name of my one-man band.

    how did you find this site?

    Every time I have read the series, I always read the revised version of "The Gunslinger." I saw that my local library had an original copy (somehow) and so I decided to start my journey again this morning, but with the original version of the first book. I finished that book and was curious to know all the differences. Some of them I remembered (19, manni, alain) but I recalled having seen a side-by-side comparison once, back in the day. So I googled "gunslinger differences original version revised" and a post someone made on this forum came up. I read the differences, and immediately signed up for this. So between these forums, and my pro wrestling forums, I am now going to be even less productive than before, haha.

    Not a new member; several days back made an update to my profile (mkberger) changing my email address, and from that point haven't been able to post. Some further tweaks, a couple of emails to the Contact Us link, nothing. So figured that it was easier to try a fresh start, and that worked.

    So: back again, and will try not to mess around with things too much!

    Hey everyone!
    How did I discover TDT?
    I give wolves of the calla when I was in middle school but had trouble getting into it. A few years later I picked up the gunslinger by chance and was hooked instantly. I have read through the entire series 3 times and am about to finish my 4th read through (currently deployed to Afghanistan so may as well read in my down time lol).

    Who is my favorite character?
    Its very hard to choose but I'd have to say Rolamd, Jake and of course Oy!

    My favorite book would have to be The Dark Tower, it is wonderful tof see how everything is wrapped up, as well as some major appearances from other Stephen King books.

    How old am I?
    22 years old

    Hi all. Long time King reader that fell out of reading while the kids were young and free time was lacking. Recently got back into it and decided to start collecting, which is when I found this site. Looking forward to contributing to the ongoing discussions here!

    How did you discover the Dark Tower?

    The Gunslinger was the first king Novel I ever read. Picked it up in the school library in 7th grade or so and was hooked.

    Who is your favorite character?

    Interesting question. No easy answer I think. That is what is so great about this series, the characters are so complex. I have loved and hated all of them at one point or another.

    What is your favorite book?

    The Gunslinger has always been my favorite. Maybe because that is the one that opened the door to this world for me.

    How old are you?

    40...ugh...still getting used to that bit of nonsense.


    Where are you from?

    Texas

    do you have a nickname?

    Not unless you count Dad

    how did you find this site?
