A few quick words on Marvel Comics’ adaptation of “The Little Sisters of Eluria.”

Prose works are usually difficult to translate to comics. (Anyone old enough to remember “Classic Comics?”) “The Little Sisters of Eluria,” Stephen King’s long story adjunct to his “Dark Tower” series, is an example of this. The story’s hero spends most of the story incapacitated in a hospital bed, which presents problems for a visual medium.

Still, the creative team at Marvel Comics does a good job, as they’ve done with every King adaptation I’ve seen them handle. It’s a good, creepy story that captures King’s voice, and it’s a fun late-night read. I’d give it an 8 out of 10.

  1. Reblogged this on Readsalot and commented:
    Eric, I believe that I read the short story or novella. I am trying to remember which collection of King shorts it was featured in.
    I am thinking either ‘Nightmares and Dreamscapes’ or possibly ‘Everything Is Eventual’. You wouldn’t happen to know would you?

        I think I will give it another read.
        Oh, btw-I made another post on the forum over at TBMN. I told Ken about ‘Dogs…’ and posted the link to my review.
