Or that a Pulitzer Prize winner would be writing about superhero costumes in the New York Times...comic book movies top the Hollywood charts...etc. etc. And for all of this to be taken seriously by the people we used to jokingly refer to as the "civilians"-- ie-- non-comic book fans? It just seemed a good moment to reflect on how much things have changed in the last 10 or 15 years. Did you ever think you’d live to see a world where no one less than Stephen King would be promoting comic books for Marvel Comics– on National Public Radio no less— a book which made the Amazon 100 (if I’m not mistaken)– and that we’d be simultaneously reading about all this on something called “the internet”?

I still have not read the comics. Part of me wants the characters to be the way they looked in my head as I read the books. But what does that mean, that I should draw my own comic version to read?? ha ha The seven book series is one heck of an adventure. I still have not read the comics.

I am so into anything and everything Dark Tower, right now. It's pure, great, unapologetic, fun. I'm reading Wolves of the Calla, right now, and it seems to me that there are so many arias for the comics to expand upon. I'm really excited to read The Long Road Home. I’ll have to check that out.
