Dark Tower Hits National Bestseller List!

Wow! Since it was widely-reported, I did not bring you the press release about how the Dark Tower hardcover (HC) was voted #1 online a few weeks back, but this one really blows my mind! I could kick myself for not having made a bigger deal over not having received the Dark Tower issues I ordered! I ordered two of them and did not receive any, but I didn't bother to say anything because the title had been delayed and I didn't go back and double-check my order, so I figured they just canceled my order or whatever - however that works.

Anyway, this here's an official Marvel press release:

The sensation that swept the comic market is taking book readers by storm as Marvel is proud to announce that Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born Premiere HC has topped the Bookscan national sales chart! In addition to being the #1 hardcover graphic novel across all major online retailers — Amazon.Com, BN.Com, Borders.Com, Target.Com, Dark Tower has topped the Graphic Novel chart on Bookscan, and made the top 25 of all fiction hardcovers!

In addition to conquering sales-charts, Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born Premiere HC is also making all of the Holiday Gift Guides across the nation. Ain’t It Cool News, Washington Times, and Yahoo.com have all chosen the collection as a must-have, in addition to Amazon.com naming it the #1 Editor’s pick of 2007.

Collecting all seven issues of the top-selling Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born limited series, this hardcover explores the past of Roland Deschain, hero of Stephen King's epic Dark Tower novels. Written by New York Times best-selling author Peter David and Dark Tower expert Robin Furth, visualized stunningly by Jae Lee & Richard Isanove and overseen by the watchful eyes of Stephen King---this graphic novel is a must-have for Dark Tower fans new and old!

Critically-acclaimed comic book creator Paul Pope writes in PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY, “The Gunslinger Born is the perfect starting point for those who think comics contain nothing but men in spandex costumes and masks”

Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born HC is the #1 hardcover graphic novel online and in stores across the country! Make sure you get yours today!
