The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger - The Little Sisters of Eluria #1

by Robin Furth

Near death from an attack by Slow Mutants, Roland Deschain is taken in by a group of sisters who specialize in anything but the healing arts. These hideous, corpse-like creatures known as the Little Sisters of Eluria have murder on their twisted minds. And in his current, wounded condition, there’s almost nothing the last Gunslinger can do to prevent their tender mercies from taking hold.

Reviews

[Mat Davies · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one is dark and takes place after the Battle of Jericho Hill and before the Man in Black in followed across the desert. The Gunslinger is reimagined again and I like this one. The Slow Mutants have also been rethought and I am not sure. I kinda dig the idea of them being primal. However, the art is cool. This first issue has an eery feel to it that I could really get into.

Strong first issue

This is one of my favorite adventures since I read the original novels years ago. I am enjoying finding new things within this world to like and look forward to as Roland does another run through the world as it was and as it will become all over again (for me) and the first time in a new format for him.

Once again Roland lands in a situation he could not have foreseen nor could he have avoided. Ka is a wheel that keeps turning and he must ride to the end.

I disegni sono come sempre stupendi.
La storia anche, pur non essendo The Little Sisters of Eluria il capitolo migliore della Torre Nera
