Favorite Cover(s) in the series
Of all the versions that are out for all the Novels, What version do you like the best? I have to say since I just read the books last year and bought the newer versions I like the first 4 books the best. I wish they had continued using that type of art of the last 3.
Novels or comics?

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
sorry Novels
No worries. It's a great idea.
Let's see - I really love the UK Sphere covers.
I own this book and love the cover :
I also love this one, the Gunslinger 3rd. Again, as book I own.
I know I have a link someplace ( at home ) which shows all the various covers. I'll look it up and post it here when I can.
Great thread!

maerlyn - wouldn't it be hard to have a poll, though - there are probably 20+ different covers between editions, and UK versions, etc.

These were the 4 covers I was talking about that I really loved. Like I said I wish they had done the last 3 books in that style.
Awesome I would love to see what all the different cover they had for the books were.

Nice, strange that they don't have any of the ones that I posted.
Yeah, no clue how often they update those pages.
Just as an FYI - there are tons!

Yeah you're right. When I first read the thread I was just thinking of the first seven original covers.
Yeah, I wasn't thinking about that. I think the thread is fine the way it is. It sure is fun scrolling though this thread and seeing all the cool pretty covers. Great idea for a topic, tattsSure why not but like Turtlex says there are probably tons over different versions of covers. I forgot about the UK versions covers.

CK's pick of DTVII is my #1 pic as well. I have a Whelan of that on my office wall.

agreed, those were great!These were the 4 covers I was talking about that I really loved. Like I said I wish they had done the last 3 books in that style.
The Gunslinger one is my favourite DT cover. it is what got me interested in the series in the first place.
Some are born to sweet delight,
some are born to the endless night.
The Gunslinger and The Waste Lands were what caught my eye. Those are my top 2 probably in that order too.
Thanks, I was kind of surprised when I was doing a search that nobody had started a thread like this yet. I saw a bunch saying what's your favorite SK book, Favorite DT book, and Least favorite. I was also kind of curious if there was a certain cover that people went for with all the different types that are out there.Yeah, I wasn't thinking about that. I think the thread is fine the way it is. It sure is fun scrolling though this thread and seeing all the cool pretty covers. Great idea for a topic, tatts
When I was just starting to read the books I only had the first 2. My wife asked me what I wanted for my Birthday since her parents didn't have any ideas. So I told her I wanted them to get me more of the dark tower books. When I got them they got me the rest of them. But they were all in the small trade edition. So I went to the store on the way home and traded them all in for the bigger ones and payed the difference.
Wow, that Japanese cover of the Gunslinger is freaky!

This one is my absolute favourite:
I love this thread.
You have shown me some covers I have never seen before.
Roland would have understood.
It's amazing how hard a time I had trying to find that cover of The Wastelands.
