Acclaimed Artist Sean Phillips Joins DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER
Marvel is proud to announce that Eisner Award-winning Sean Phillips
(Incognito, Criminal, Marvel Zombies) has joined the New York Times
best-selling Dark Tower creative team! Philips joins the acclaimed team
of Peter David, Robin Furth and Richard Isanove in the select group of
creators entrusted by Stephen King himself to bring the adult adventures
of his most personal creation to life in Dark Tower: The Gunslinger!
Philips exclaims, "Well, I've bought the hat and the gun and holster.
And I've got the lead pencil right here that'll do the job!"
Phillips' fellow Dark Tower collaborators couldn't be more pleased with
their new teammate. "Here's to the beginning of our new Dark Tower
adventure! Sean is a wonderful artist, so I can't wait to see his
depictions of Mid-World. We will all miss Jae [Lee], but we're really
lucky to have Sean. Peter and Richard will continue their amazing work,
so I think Roland is ready to saddle up and move forward to the Mohaine
Desert. Readers, bring plenty of sunscreen. You're going to need it"
said Robin Furth.
Peter David added, "I'm very much looking forward to seeing Sean's
depiction of Mid-World and the superb manner in which he'll be telling
Robin's stories. Jae left him sizable boots to fill, but I have every
confidence that Sean is more than up to the challenge, and I'm looking
forward to dialoguing his peerless pencils."
"The past four years spent in Midworld have been the most enjoyable and
creatively fullfiling of my professional life. Jae has taken me further
than I thought possible in the artistic field and I am ecstatic to now
have Sean along for the ride. I'm sure he'll quickly feel at home within
our little functional family, with the wise guidance of Robin, Peter's
perfect prose and under Ralph's despotic thumb" explained Richard
Isanove.
Ruwan Jayatilleke, Marvel's Senior Vice President, Development &
Planning, Print, Animation and Digital Media, said, "Marvel is
absolutely psyched to have Sean Phillips join the Dark Tower creative
team. Though Jae's artistry will be missed, Sean's gift of phenomenal
storytelling and visual fireworks will keep the Dark Tower: The
Gunslinger compelling, stunning, and true to its canon. Fans will have
much to rave about in the coming months."
A bold new chapter in Stephen King's Dark Tower saga begins in Dark
Tower: The Gunslinger #1, as Sean Phillips brings you a vision of Gilead
like you've never seen before!
