Love the Black House. One sold for $246.50 today. Not that I had money to bid, but that seems low.
I paid $260.00 for my copy # 904,
Which seemed reasonable

That's a nice looking Remarque, John!
Awesome remarque!!!
That's a brilliant remarque you have there John - I like it a lot !!! :smile:
Perhaps I am daft, but what part does a Ferris wheel play in "The Dark Man"?
I don't think it plays a specific role. I saw The Dark Man as a tale of wandering. And I think its just another of the many things the Dark Man see's on his travels.
I don't remember it being in the poem, but I do believe there was a broken down carousel. So a ferris wheel isn't really a stretch IMHO.
I like it. It kind of reminds me of Joyland, and I REALLY enjoyed Joyland.

Excellent remarque, John. Like that a lot.
Awesome remarque, John!
I'm sorry... I didn't mean a mention of it in the text...
I meant that several of the illustrations in the book have carnival related themes... for example if I am not mistaken I believe I saw a illustration with a broken down carousel.
To me it almost felt like the book was trying to give The Dark Man that carny kind of feel... the great wanderer.
Just a thought - but is it possible Glenn had a lapse and thought he was doing a Joyland remarque? He has done quite a few remarques just lately?
Not only is there a ferris wheel there is also a similar tent.

Just got my package from Glenn. He was kind enough to let me send him an idea and then run with it. Here is what I sent him "As you know, the dark man is the precursor to the character Randall Flagg. You have done such an amazing job with poem I was thinking of exploring the character that emerges. At the rear of the book are two blank white canvases for you. I see them as a sort of collage (you have done some really cool ones over the years) of Flagg's appearances. as long as Grant in Australia is jealous!
I was seeing:
The Stand - the dark man overlooking Vegas and crucifixions, maybe even a mushroom cloud with the hand of God behind, like in the novel's finale
Eyes of the Dragon - the dark man shot in the eye with an arrow, beginning to melt, perhaps the young king/prince with his bow spent
The Gunslinger's opening line where the gunslinger is following the man in black across the desert, maybe in the foreground/background of the collage
Perhaps a railroad through it like from the poem itself, a dark man at the back of it ready to emerge as the characters
What do you think? Is this crazy? It's just the kind of homage I was envisioning given the seminal importance do the poem. B/W, Color, subtle color? I can leave up to your eye. Let me know what you think. You can tell me I'm being ridiculous if you want. I hope you're up for it."
My God, was he up for it! Enjoy!
