Stephen King! Stylish, dark, fun read. Waiting for the movie.

As ilustrações são bonitas e, por mais que eu goste da história do pistoleiro, sinto que nos quadrinhos o sexismo está ainda mais presente do que na obra original, o que definitivamente me incomodou bastante. Parece que toda personagem feminina precisa ser retratada como prostituta, traidora ou ter suas partes íntimas comentadas de alguma forma completamente desnecessária.

Excelente adaptação dos livros de Stephen King , contando brevemente o prólogo de O Pistoleiro e os eventos de Mago e Vidro. A arte é muito boa porém bastante escura.
