Questions about the comics

...once you get past the first couple of arcs....there is much more original content included, and even then-there a couple of nice bits in the first two arcs...and if by "prose" you mean the contributions from Robin Furth?....I can't speak to the hardcovers, but each comic has something by her primarily, and other writers/editors etc.-secondarily....

Every issue has an essay by Robin Furth, and some have other material, including maps, discussions of artwork, etc. These are NOT included in the hardcover omnibus.

The first batch of 7 issues is a condensed retelling of Roland's youth in Mejis. The next batch tells about their journey back to Gilead. While this is covered in the novel, this is a greatly expanded version of the story. From that point forward, most of the material is new, using details from the novels as launching points. Little Sisters of Eluria is a more-or-less straight retelling of that novella, with a few changes. The Gunslinger series adapts the novel, but there are some changes -- expansions, revisions and alterations.

I cover the graphic novels in detail in The Dark Tower Companion, including synopses of the arcs and the additional material at the back of each issue. I also interviewed most of the artists, Furth and Peter David.

I'm still pissed about 'The Fall of Gilead' not being available in the Netherlands

Does Rhea of the Coos meet her demise in the comics? One of the great dangling plot threads in my lifetime.
