Peter David on Marvel’s Dark Tower

Marvel's announced that the writer Peter David will take on scripting duties for the much-hyped Dark Tower project. The comic book, a prequel to Stephen King's popular fantasy series, is to be drawn by Jae Lee and is currently scheduled to begin in February 2007. The announcement of David's involvement indicates a pair of stories. The first and obvious one is that many anticipated King writing a Marvel book when the project was first announced, and although it became clear that would not be the case, I would imagine that perception will continue to follow the project as it sees fruition. The second story is that you can see this high profile assignment as another step in Peter David's steady -- but I think noticeable -- comics career resurgence, which includes projects at IDW and an exclusive with Marvel. David's reaction can be found here.
