Comic-bookish, maybe, but I love what I see here.
I would rank Michael Wheelan and Bernie Wrightson as my favorite King/Dark Tower artists, with Ned Dameron following closely behind.
In fourth position: Jae Lee.

Thanks ari for gathering them here.
Are there more illustrations or are those all there are?

There are more B&W images.

Yes. I'm about to post 'em.

Awesome Illustrations!!!!! Beat the heck out of the cover!!! I was critical of the cover initially, but once in hand, It's a different thing altogether. Mr. Lee did some amazing work. Especially, on the interior illustrations, but the cover is also much better in person, IMHO!!!!!!

The B&W illustrations are reproduced in the H&S edition.
Also, i've been told that the french version will include the illustrations.

What pages do the illustrations fall on? When I'm reading I'd like to come here and view the them when I come to the those pages in the story.

Matt, the illustrations are not in the Scribner trade edition that comes out today. They are in the Grant editions and all the UK Hodder & Stoughton editions, though.

Thanks John, but I was asking because I want to come to this board when I come to the page that the picture should be in the book. I'm not asking if there are pictures, I know that there aren't any, I just need the page number they fall on so I can look at them here. I'm actually getting the UK ed. so I'm mostly concerned with the colored illustrations.

I'm sorry I misunderstood you! I'll try to post the page numbers as soon as I can.

John

Cool, I asked my girlfriend if the question was confusing and she said it was. Hard to explain my request I suppose.

The pagination for the Scribner trade edition is different from the Grant Artist Edition. I'll have to figure out where the illustrations are in the Grant edition, then figure out where the equivalent passage is in the Scribner. Not as easy as I thought it would be!

John

If you want to just give me a general chapter and location, it doesn't have to be exact page. I don't want you to have to go through too much trouble. I'm getting my UK copy soon, maybe today, so I'm just looking for the color illustrations. Though others might be interested in the b&w ones.

Thanks for the help.

Matt, I'm sorry this took so long. Life has a way of interfering.

First illustration: Two-page right before the title page
Second illustration: opposite p. 80 in the AE, about p 60 in the Scribner trade
Third illustration: opposite p. 160 in the AE, about p 138 in the trade
Fourth illustration: opposite p 224 in the AE, about p 203 in the trade
Fifth illustration: Two-page after p 272 in the AE, about p 250 in the trade
Sixth illustration: opposite p 304 in the AE, about p 282 in the trade

(By the way, the Table of Contents in the AE says the sixth illustration is opposite p 320, but it's wrong, at least in my copy.)

Hope this helps!

John

Thanks man! Now I can sorta enjoy it like the rest of you are!

I am new to the series and wanted to say thank you so much for posting the color images and the info on where they go. Can anyone also tell me where the B&W images would be located within the Scribner edition? This has been the only site I found to show 12. All others only gave about 6. I would love to print them and insert it in my copy since the general public was kind of screwed out of getting the illustrations with TWTTK. Thanks in advance!

Disregard above. I got impatient and decided to buy a UK paperback to get the B&W illustrations. I'm curious to know how many words were changed between the UK version and the USA version.

This is going to sound dumb (and perhaps insulting) to anyone who doesn't see it, but it is an observation not a criticism: does anyone else think that Jae Lee's cover art for TWITK (first image) has a Bloom County feel to it? Down to the boy's curved back (an occasional BC feature) and everything.

Not a criticism; Jae Lee is quite talented and I enjoy much of his work; this is just a quirky thing I noticed and wanted to see if anyone else saw it too.
