  • They revolve around Roland Deschain's quest to find and protect the Dark Tower.

After the series was finished, a series of prequel comics followed. There are now comics that are being based on the series itself, specifically The Gunslinger. The series has many inspirations, but was chiefly inspired by the poem, Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came, by Robert Browning. Amongst his other inspiration, King lists The Lord of the Rings, the Arthurian Legend, and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly as influences that led to the series. He identifies Clint Eastwood's "Man with No Name" character as one of the major inspirations for Roland. King's style of location-names in the series, such as Mid-World, and his development of a unique language (High Speech), are also influenced by J.R.R. Tolkien's work.
