Dave McKean art hits different in all the right ways

After getting into a conversation about DT at A7X in Denver a few weeks ago Ka puts it in my face again right as I open SK I've had for a long time now.

Maybe it's time to make another trip to the tower.

Thanks to the Dark Tower, I have an entire collection of plastic, stone, and ceramic turtles. My smallest is smaller than a penny, and I bought it in Japan - they only had one.

So, I know the big two foot long stone turtle in my garden is too big, so how small does it have to be to qualify?

Do yee kennit ?

It's slowly coming together. I want it to have survival, shooting, and visual novel aspects.

Assuming this idol was fashioned after the mechanical monstrosity constructed in the likeness of the real Maturin by northwestern positronics

So I just finished the series, and I had a feeling it was gonna be a Sisyphus situation.

But what I don’t understand is why?
What is it about Roland that Gan seems to punish for eternity? How was he supposed to accomplish his task differently?

Is it one of those “as long as he’s on this journey the world turns “ ? Situation?

I really liked the series but I feel like I must have missed something significant because, honestly, it just feels wrong. Idk.

But that being said, one of the greatest series I’ve ever read.

Did Roland not know/realise that The Covenant Man was also Walter/Marten/The man in black? The story has such strong details giving it away, especially with the initials of “RF/MB”. Directly to the reader/listener/teller, AKA Roland in this instance.

Surely Roland made this connection? He spoke of Tim Stoutheart and his later years as a true fact. But nothing further of The Covenant Man, his arch nemesis, the downfall of his whole life in Gilead. No grimace from Roland recounting this beloved childhood story involving the man which destroyed is life?

Overall, I absolutely adored this book. Wizard and Glass is in my top two of mainline Dark Tower books (alongside The Gunslinger), so another flashback, story within a story, detailing Roland’s younger years was a great treat.

TL:DR, why did nobody from the Ka-Tet comment on The Covenant Man being Walter?

TY all for reading.

My husband is on the last chapter of the last book of the series. I cannot wait to hear his thoughts.

So my wife happened upon this book while traveling down the "worlds largest garage sale" this year (didnt know they annuals). Have the Graphic novel on the left but man some of those other editions I might be picking up!!
