From the Stephen King newsletter:
Spring 2006---Stephen King and Marvel Comics join forces to launch a ground-breaking new comic book series adapted from King’s magnum opus, The Dark Tower. King’s unparalleled storytelling power will provide old and new stories that delve into the life and times of the young Roland. “As a lifelong fan of Marvel comic books, and as an adult reader who’s seen comics “come of age” and take their rightful place in the world of fantasy and science fiction,” says Stephen King. “I’m excited to be a part of Roland’s new incarnation.” The series will be illustrated by Eisner-award winning artist Jae Lee. “My life changed overnight when I learned I'd be working with Stephen King!” exclaims Jae Lee. “I know how special The Dark Tower series is to him. I'm incredibly honored that he would allow me to be a guest in his world.” Keep checking Marvel.com for more information on one of the biggest projects in 2006. And be on the lookout for free bookmarks featuring the exceptional art of Jae Lee, at comic book shops and bookstores nationwide this holiday season.

Yeah, heard about that. Was kind of hoping he'd be working on a new project -- maybe reviving Tomb of Dracula or Werewolf by Night or something -- but for the Dark Tower fans, this should be interesting. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first Marvel work he's done since contributing to that X-Men: Heroes for Hope special Africa famine relief fundraising comic.
