The first one and the last one. They are like pictures from my mind...
Roland would have understood.
I'm going with the last book of the series, and the pencil sketch of Roland at Oy's grave. Or, it would be Roland carrying Jakes body. Those two, very touching.
DT7 by far. Followed by Song of Susannah and Wastelands on an equal footing.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
DT 7. I love the cover art, and also love the one of Roland sitting in front of the door Susannah left from. Plus, I'm a huge Whelan fan.

"You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served." ~ Roland Deschain
Michael Whelan would be proud to see our poll.....
hands down the best in my opinion too!
But my favorite pic standing on its own is of
Roland, smiling very strangely in Drawing of the Three.
See pic below
I wish I had a print of this for my wall @ home to me its the best one.
The answer is within
all matter is energy, all energy is GOD
If I must choose between DT1 and DT7 I pick DT1.
Roland would have understood.
No one said you must choose between those two.Originally Posted by Letti
YOU MUST..
Now someone did.

Thank you, Matthew. It's good to know that I can count on you all the time.
Roland would have understood.
Its always "Matthew" for me, love.

I don't know if they're "the best", but DT I and VII have my favorite pieces of artwork.
it was a tough choice between 1 and 7 but it was Whelan all the way. He's my fav visual interpreter of the series and anyone who would ever do a movie would be well-advised to consult him heavily on the look of it. his depiction of oy is almost EXACTLY as i pictured him, he knows jake is blonde, his rolands are just stunning, and his pic of Los on his throne is the single best pic in the series.
Hey, i've not seen, that picture, could you perhaps get me a picture of it?

When we did the Dark Jester and Bride for Halloween, Mr. Woofer modeled our staves on the spear in this picture - skull included. There's a mini-pic of this in my profile.
It'll take a lot more than words and guns,
A whole lot more than riches and muscle.
The hands of the many must join as one.
And together we'll cross the river.

I voted for The Dark Tower. Whelan sees Roland, his pictures are Roland.
The Waste Lands is my second; I love some of those pictures so much.
On a side note, I just realized that my trade paperback copy of DT3 contains duplicate pictures of He fired... and it is missing the picture of Gasher and Jake. Hmm.
Exactly. I feel the same about Los, and Oy. EVERY other depiction of Oy falls short.
Hey, never forget Calvin Tower...that could be worth something!

Yes, I suppose so.
As for Whelan's Oy...I'm not too sure. I've never seen a picture of him that is what I first saw in my mind. The pic of Oy in DT7 is too doggish for my taste. I guess I always had a "cuter" Oy in my head.
Well, the pictures of him DT7 look pretty cute to me
*SHRUGS*

There you go, copying me again.
I'd like to know who voted for WAG.
Was it the Susanah that looks like Willie Nelson that they thought was so awesome?
in my opinion, WAG should have had the best artwork, but had the worst.
"So many vows. They make you swear and swear. Defend the King, obey the King, obey your father, protect the innocent, defend the weak. But what if your father despises the King? What if the King massacres the innocent? It's too much. No matter what you do, you're forsaking one vow or another."
Well SoS had some, um, interesting artwork too. Not my favorite.
I voted the Dark Tower, but I saw only two, SoS and DT7 (thanks again RF!!!)
