Unfortunately, Marvel stopped at that point, never adapting the entire saga. Marvel continued to publish more Dark Tower miniseries after that, exploring more of Roland's hidden years leading up to the original Dark Tower novel and then adapting both The Gunslinger and The Drawing of the Three. That story culminates in The Dark Tower: The Battle of Jericho Hill, which chronicles the titular battle that destroys the kingdom of Gilead and sparks Roland's quest for the Dark Tower. That initial series was followed up by four more comic book miniseries that continue where the flashback leaves off and explore more of Roland's formative years. Basically an adaptation of the flashback portion of Wizard and Glass, The Gunslinger Born helps visualize a world that previously only existed in prose form and in a handful of painted illustrations. Marvel Comics first journeyed into this universe with 2007's The Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born. Both the Dark Tower comics and the live-action movie are worth consuming as companions to the novels. The Dark Tower saga may be rooted in the prose world, but it's also expanded into other media in recent years.
