Hot on the heels of the Daredevil Sneak Peek, Marvel also dropped off a four page preview of Stephen King’s Gunslinger Born #2. If you haven’t read the first issue, best hope your local comic shop still has one in stock as Gunslinger Born #2 goes on sale March 7.
David Finch and Jae Lee are the artists behind the variant covers to Stephen King’s Dark Tower: The Gunslinger Born #2.
