McKean's illustrations are my least favorites. I just don't like his style at all.

I agree. I believe his are the worst of the lot.

But thank you so much for posting those lepra, we love to see new folks getting involved this way.

Hello Matt!
Thanks! What's a bookmark?
Great stuff your doing here
Excellent posts, thanks!
People, I'd like to introduce to you Lepra (his name is Gabriel). He's a friend of mine who finally took courage and started to post.
Regarding McKean's illustrations, I really liked his work! The order of my dt favourites is:
- The gunslinger
- The Dark Tower
- The wastelands
- Song of Susannah
- Wizard and glass
- The drawing of the three (2nd ed.)
- The drawing of the three (1st ed)
- Wolves of the calla.
Wanted list:
Ubris
I agree with you on The Gunslinger as #1
Nice to meet youLepra (his name is Gabriel)
Thanks!!!!!!!!
I'm a Whelan fan myself. I always thought Wrightson made everyone's legs too long.
It is cool to have all the DT art in one spot, though.

I love any shot of Oy though, he is represented there exactly as I imagined him.

Oy, he is one of the most individually pictured in your mind characters, besides Roalnd I think
Whelan's cover picture for DT7 is exactly how I picture Roland.

I agree, the picture of him in wolves was close, but DT7 cover is definitly Roland
DT7 cover is perfect, but Jake I don´t like in this book.
Jake looks almost feminin
