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

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].

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.

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!

Don't answer the door in a wedding dress and veil, he might not think you're joking.

Time and Patience they both test each other. One fails other takes over....

Stay aligned with your intentions and your good will find you.

Passion will always move you in the direction of your authentic self.

Nothing excites jaded Grandmasters more than a theoretical novelty

I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know.

It's that idea that you can have one drink - and no you can't. Within a week I was drinking heavily. It was so quick that even I was like, 'Wow.'

Break your pitcher against a rock. We don't need any longer to haul pieces of the ocean around.

The merit of originality is not novelty; it is sincerity.
