THE DARK TOWER: ELURIA’S GATE by Michael Whelan

This was originally created for a title page in Artist Edition LITTLE SISTERS OF ELURIA published by Donald M. Grant. The area under the gate was left blank for the title lettering, but when Michael pulled it out of his files for us to frame, he added a bonus - Roland on the horse. A painting both old and new!

Stephen King recently said in an interview,“ I’m not done with the Dark Tower.” Obviously, Michael agrees.

A Signed Open Edition Giclée is now available to order on MichaelWhelan.com

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.
