After all, I want to make sure I stick with his original vision. So far, [Steven King] comments have always been the same - run with it!

As you know, transforming such a big book [The Gunslinger Born] into graphic novel format is really a process of translation.

Sometimes, as I'm following a story thread to its ultimate conclusion, I find that I start swimming in deep water and need to run an idea by Steve [King].

Steve [King] has been incredibly supportive. He's also really good about getting back to me when I have questions about plot or characterization.

In order to capture Mid-World for new readers, I had to streamline the original tale [ The Gunslinger Born], but I also had to incorporate scenes from earlier Dark Tower novels.

Originally, I broke the story [The Gunslinger Born] into eight comic books, but when the editors at Marvel thought we should make it more compact, I managed to cut back to seven.

My job on The Gunslinger Born was to take Stephen King's novel and transform it into a detailed, seven issue, scene-by-scene story.

I've learned a heck of a lot this way [making Dark Tower comics]. I've also learned a lot from the editors at Marvel, who are always an equal part in the creative team.

Bringing Mid-World to a new readership felt like a big responsibility, but I'm so glad that readers have enjoyed the story. That is a reward in itself.

At Twitter, mobile is in our DNA ... For us, it's all about mobile, and it always has been.

It makes me sad because I've never seen such--such beautiful shirts before.

The weak may be joked out of anything but their weakness.

The storm: I close my eyes and, standing in it, try to make it mine.

Marilyn Monroe was supposedly a size 16, which is probably why I love her style; it suits me better.

No, in 1968 I still wanted to be a Pop Star, and be about the music. Now, I want to be just about the music.

I knew I was never going to play professional sport, but I loved playing and I went to all the games I could afford to.

I have often before now been convinced that a democracy is incapable of empire.
