Calling DARK TOWER or Stephen King fans…whichever comes first. Marvel has just announced the continuation of DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER with THE LITTE SISTERS OF ELURIA. The issue will be the first of many to come when it hits comic shelves this December, 2010.
If you haven’t already guessed it Stephen King’s DARK TOWER series is a national bestseller spawning a series of DARK TOWER comics and spin-off novels. THE LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA will be the first big change in the series since the comics began in 2007.
Famous comic scribes Robin Furth and Peter David will be joined by artist Kuke Ross for the projects. Word is that the King himself filtered through the world of comic creators for the right people. In other words he handpicked the crew to bring his beloved comics to life. I’m pretty sure that when DARK TOWER makes its way to the Cinematic screen, this new series will be highly considered as well.

Synopsis:
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. It’s the beginning of a new Dark Tower story arc featuring the fine pencils of Luke Ross.
