THE DARK TOWER: ALGUL SIENTO (2003) by Michael Whelan
Acrylic on Panel - 28” x 18”
From his first reading of the manuscript, Michael was drawn to this scene in THE DARK TOWER VII and he knew he had to paint it. Stephen King’s description of the quiet bond between Roland and Jake was particularly compelling, as it stood in stark contrast to the violence and mayhem that occur in other parts of the story.

THE DARK TOWER: CORNERED (2003) by Michael Whelan
Oil on Panel - 28” x 18”
The water and the drain in the floor, Jake’s left hand, the rope, the curl of Oy’s tail, and other elements in this interior illustration from THE DARK TOWER VII intentionally form the number 9 backwards and forwards.

THE DARK TOWER: KA-TET (2003) by Michael Whelan
Oil on Panel - 28” x 18”
Throughout the Dark Tower series, Stephen King portrayed Roland’s group of fighters known as the Ka-Tet as a circle. Taking this as a cue, Michael built many circles into his composition and this became one of the author’s most favorite illustrations.
