Gilead goes unexplored through much of the Dark Tower novels and what we know from Roland’s childhood comes mostly from his time away from Gilead on his formational mission. This volume of the graphic novels explores Roland’s hometown and breathe life into the city that was the epicenter of power in Roland’s world. It is interesting to visualize the city and see more of Roland’s young life and of the workings of the gunslingers before they were decimated. This volume does cover some familiar ground but adds some details and characters to make it a worthy addition to the series.
