[NeedfulKings]

Nice grabs everyone!!!!

I came across this on my trip to Portland. It was sitting on the shelf with a $40 price tag and having not really researched the value, I thought I'd just get it.

Dark Tower: Drawing of the Three, Special Advance Readers Copy. Aside from the few shelf scratches, it's it great shape--no reading creases, etc.

Today I received a signed 1st edition of The Dark Tower 7.



This is my first, (Stephen King) signed First Edition of any Dark Tower book.

I have a signed DT5, but it is a 2nd or 3rd printing.

Close, but probably not the one you were thinking of. I was one of the AE + Other Books orders, so my LSoE's didn't go out with the first batch of shipments.


I recieved my copy of The Waste Lands from Ned Dameron today, and when I opened it I found this:




Wow! Oy is my most favorite character in the series, and I love Ned's smiling, jovial version of him. Actually, I adore each artist's version of him, because they are all so different, but undeniably Oy. Here's my Whelan Oy remarque for comparison. Very different interpretation of King's description.




So a little background info: in our most recent correspondence, I got on the topic of my favorite little billy bumbler, and Ned talked at some length about a primary inspiration for the character design, which I guarantee you is not at all what you think it would be. Aside from King's descriptions of Oy's animalistic stature and features (heavily inspired by his Corgi, Marlowe), Ned's influence for Oy's more humanized facial features was actually a very cute check-out girl from his local grocery store! He's got a semi-photographic memory, so he just stored the image of her cute smile away, and used it as a sort of caricature for Oy in a final study for the painting of he and Jake.

Here's a closer shot of the sketch and inscription.
