I just have a simple question: I've just got into the series and only 2/3rds finished DT 3. So after I am finished the novels, after DT7- is there something different in the comics compared to the books? Thanks

Not different so much as some fleshing out and creation of some side stories.I just have a simple question: I've just got into the series and only 2/3rds finished DT 3. So after I am finished the novels, after DT7- is there something different in the comics compared to the books? Thanks
...not canon, but they gave me another whiff of Mid-World...and that ain't a bad cologne for the mind-mud of mine...Tell ya, the comics are the comics, the books are the books. I don't accept them as canon any more than I would a movie adaption. See, I'm holding out for more Roland tales from King--there's plenty of fertile ground for such, in between the fall of Gilead and the big Quest. The comics covered this area you say? Cry yer pardon, Sai, but...meh. Like I say, those are comics. I don't consider them official DT stories any more than I considered Roy Thomas's Conan stories part of the Conan canon. And I love Roy Thomas Conan. Just two different animals.

...he would have indeed...they weren't and haven't all been quality but Robin has done well...no Golden Age of comics certainly, but we dinosaurs live in a world that has moved on...into reality tv and boner pills...Well, sure, but doggonit, you know as well as I, it ain't the King. And further more...those comics sucked. Just like all modern comics suck. Like picture books for lil kiddies. God forbid we put some words in there.
Betcha Roy Thomas would give us some good DT.

....aye my damp scented friend, that I would....Indeed. Heh heh heh.
Butcha gotta admit...you'd rather have the King do Roland than anybody else. Otherwise we get get Blade the Gunslingin Vampire Slayer. Oh joy.
