1982 PUBLISHERS WEEKLY Dark Tower article

For the Dark Tower fan - here is a blast from the past , an oldie but goodie of sorts. If you haven’t seen this already, it’s an article scan dating back to 1982 by Publisher’s Weekly that discusses the launch of the upcoming Dark Tower books by Donald M. Grant publishers, more specifically the very first book, The Gunslinger....

It is interesting to note that this first Dark Tower book was King’s first illustrated book, done by Michael Whelan, who would later go on to illustrate many others. In the article, Grant states that “Everyone knows who King is; he’s the most popular figure in sci-fi/fantasy today”. Not exactly true, however, because up to that point, he was well-known as a horror writer, publishing novels such as The Stand, Carrie, and Salem’s Lot. He was not considered as an author of science fiction or fantasy.. You can read the article here - don't forget to leave a comment.
