  It would be a small week for me but I also ordered the Dark Tower Omnibus. Should be here by Friday. I can't wait to read this beast.

FTFY

Any of these three series I recommend as modern-day Lord of the Rings classics

Eisenhorn, books 1-3 of a 9 book series are simply the best books I've ever read - the series is currently on book 7. I recommend Eisenhorn to anyone that just likes to read. Books 4-6 are just as good, called Ravenor, with the 7th book in the series now out, called Pariah.

Another amazing series of books I love are the Old Man's War books, effectively a series of 6 books with some short stories in between and the last book being broken up into thirteen short stories (such was the demand for the books while they were being written). Fantastic, fantastic series - I recommend them to anyone.

I also love and recommend The Dark Tower series, 7 books. They're the only thing written by King that I've liked.

It's complete and available on amazon, I got my copy around Christmas time. It covers everything from The Gunslinger Born through The Battle of Jericho Hill, which as far as I know is everything.

Supposedly there's another run being made of The Gunslinger, but I haven't seen it yet to be able to confirm anything, and even if that is the case, it's basically a different series. The omnibus covers all of the prequel stuff.

Here's an Amazon link to it: http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Tower-Omnibus-Stephen-King/dp/0785155414/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368494339&sr=8-1&keywords=dark+tower+omnibus

Enjoy!

I'm squirreling away some funds for this gem.

I was amazed when I found out there was a The Stand graphic novel, and then even more blown away by the existence of The Dark Tower in graphic novel form.

Not sure why it's only for rent on there but that's about what a new copy will run you

Or does the order really matter?

I know you said you're listening to the main novels via audiobook, but I'd just like to mention that the comic book adaptations do a great job of clarifying the backstory. The first 30 issues all take place prior to The Gunslinger, and cover both the material from Wizard and Glass as well as other aspects of Roland's backstory which are only mentioned or hinted at in the novels. What's more, I don't think anything in them is really a spoiler for the further novels (there's a short flashback in Wolves of the Calla which the comics also incorporate, but it doesn't give anything new away to know ahead of time). The first 30 issues as well as a ton of bonus materials are available in a great hardcover omnibus edition; here's an Amazon link, though I believe it can be had for closer to $65 on eBay. It's close to a thousand pages total, and the bonus materials in the Companion book seem really cool too though I haven't gotten around to reading them in full (though those are probably best saved for after finishing the main novels, since it includes things like a world gazetteer which includes things not encountered until the final book).

I'm not usually a big fan of comics, but these are really well done, and the Omnibus editions have a great value for the price if you like the Dark Tower series, and especially if you're interested in seeing more of Roland's backstory fleshed out (including things like the Fall of Gilead, which you won't find elsewhere).

This sounds like what you're looking for:
