roland (fictional character : king)

After nearly losing his life to a pack of mutants, Roland Deschain is taken in by a band of nuns known as the Sisters of Eluria. He soon realizes that they are actually malevolent, corpse-like creatures, and must fight to protect himself from a horrid fate.

Following the destruction of the Gunslingers at the Battle of Jericho Hill, the last surviving member of their order, Roland Deschain, ascends from the rubble and sets out to learn the mysteries of the Dark Tower. It is here, he hopes, that he can repair all the damage pushing his world out of place.

Shortly after arriving in the town of Tull, Roland begins searching for the Dark Man Walter O'Dim. His search is impeded, however, when he encounters the preacher lady Sylvia Pittston, who has fallen under the influence of O'Dim's magic and is leading the town to believe that Roland is the Antichrist.

Collects three comic book adaptations of "The Dark Tower" series, in which Sheemie investigates the Crimson King, Roland reminisces about the wild days of his youth, and Roland as the Gunslinger sees his quest in light of the battle between Arthur Eld and Lord Perth.

Marten Broadcloak, an evil villain, plots to take possession of Gilead and destroy all that the heirs of the legendary Arthur Eld have achieved.

Following the complete destruction of Gilead, the six pillars of reality holding all of existence together begin to crumble, and Roland Deschain and his beleaguered ka-tet must stop the Crimson King from returning the world to chaos.
