In all the brouhaha about poor ole’ Cap, let us not forget about Marvel’s other big recent comic of note, “The Dark Tower.” The Associated Press hasn’t, and they’ve got a story about the comic as well as lots of quotes from Mr. King himself:
The time is right for the collaboration, as both the genre and the author are being showered with critical and academic success like never before. These days, comic books aren’t just for gangly teenage boys or geeky adults, and King isn’t just a grocery store paperback writer.
“It asks something more of the reader than an old ‘Donald Duck’ or an ‘Archie’ or ‘Veronica,’” King says of the new comic. “You have to learn how to read it, and find out you’re going to be challenged.”
