There are a few other characters in the land of make believe that that are very similar to our beloved Gunslinger. These other books/movies are a must for Gunslinger fans.
My favorite quote by Roland:
"We deal in lead."


The first is from Garth Ennis Preacher series. The Saint of Killers is Roland of Gilead to a T. If you have not read Preacher, it's a series of 9 graphic novels that follow a Preacher who has been possessed by a being spawned from a sexual relationship of an angel and a devil. He bans together with an ex-girlfriend that he had stood up in AZ and a hard drinking and cursing Scottish vampire to find God, who has quit on Man and packed up and split. Following the Preacher is The Saint Of Killers who is, well, out to kill anyone and everyone in his way.
Favorite Saint of Killers quote is after he gets an atomic bomb dropped on him:
"Not enough gun."


The second is from the biggest badass in Western Days, The Outlaw Josey Wales!

Clint Eastwood plays Josey Wales who has avenged his family death and is on the lam. With him are a rag-tag group who are drawn to him (sound familiar?)
Best Josey Wales quote is after after a bounty hunter tells him he's hauling Josey in because he's trying to make a living:
"Dying ain't no way to make a living."


Can anyone else think of any other Gunslinger-esque characters?
