Rendering, Comics and Stephen King

So I'm back,
    I've got some awfully large video files in final cut rendering right now which has allowed me to return to the Stephen King portion of my comic book epic.
    I've recently discovered the gunslinger series. The comics, I read all the Dark Tower books years ago. It was one of those moments that can happen to you in the corner comic book store. When you happen across a little treasure. It might be a worthless piece of crap to anyone else but to you in the Hope diamond. I found that in the gunslinger comics, the tales of Roland had yet to end.
    Me and Stephen King go back aways. I've read just about everything he's ever written, and have been reading him since I was a kid. Really, a pretty young kid.
    I found early on that my ole man was a reader, we got him books for birthdays and Christmas and, and, and- to tell the truth us kids just got lazy and we seldom gave him anything other than a books now that I think of it.  But he read them, sitting on the couch, cigarette smoldering in the ashtray beside him with a novel in front of his nose. He's a man who loves a good story and he wanted thete kids to be that way as well. First book I ever read was the Hobbit. I asked my Dad, "hey, whattcha reading" and he handed it right off to me. I was far too young and struggled all the way through it. Skipped the Elven crap, didn't follow half the story but muscled my way through and in doing so I learned something about the old man. he didn't care what we were reading as long as we read. Think about it, there was some dark crap in the hobbit novel for a little kid. Lot's of violence and nightmarish imagery.
     So I tried my luck, Edgar Allen Poe, no worries, the old man liked that I was reading, Bram Stoker, check, The Shining- Fuck yeah! One day my Mother pointed out that I was reading that horrible Stephen King to my father and the response was music to my ears. "Leave him alone he's reading, a lot worse things he could be getting into."
     Full discloser the Shinning ended up scaring the living shit outta' me, Jack Torrance was a man with some issues. But let's set that aside. I was young, like Danny's age and I could read what I considered near porn right in front of my parents! It was pretty cool. There was all sorts of violence, creatures that go bump in the night and even sex hidden between the front and back covers. I even got a copy of misery for Christmas from my Mom.  It was a glorious time. Me and Mister King go back aways. and I'll continue to read everything the man puts out; I am a constant reader.    
      Now I find there are comics. They are a shitload of fun even though not written directly by King himself. I'd assume he oversees the process from somewhere in the higher levels of his own Dark Tower in Maine. They represent a visual silmarillion, filling in the blanks that were left behind in Roland's wake as he trudged through the wastelands of a world that has moved on.
      I hear tell of a graphic Novel entitled "N" that I've yet to find, perhaps a another trip to a different store will unearth it. Someday....
