Dark Tower: The Fall of Gilead

In 2011, Marvel Comics continued its ambitious adaptation of Stephen King’s Dark Tower saga with The Fall of Gilead, a single-issue comic that delves into the tragic collapse of the gunslingers’ ancient citadel. Illustrated by Richard Isanove, whose painted style defined the series’ visual identity, this chapter serves as a pivotal turning point in the sprawling fantasy-Western mythos. It matters as a concise, key narrative bridge within Marvel’s larger Dark Tower project, offering longtime readers a focused look at the fall of a legendary order.
