That is, to put it bluntly, BS. I bought the "revised" Gunslinger just because my copy was beat to Hell, but there's no way I'll pay another $200 or so for a barely different telling of the story.

Yeah. And I'd be even more annoyed if he rewrote it extensively.

Mordred / Flagg may have been anticlimatic, but that's what happened.

If this goes ahead, I'll seriously revise my opinion of him. Rush the last books out, then change your mind about them? Bollocks.

I doubt he'll tackle that in the immediate future, Av. He has a list of projects a mile long, including a 3rd Talisman book.

Just got the collection. Very worth it. Excellent artwork, and not a bad price either. I loved it.

I really liked it. I thought the art was perfect for the story. There's supposed to be another mini-series starting around March, isn't there?
