    Default More Crimson King please!!!

    Any chance Steve will write any more about the Crimson King? If I'm not mistaken CK was first mentioned in Insomnia and I think everyone was waiting to see what this character was going to be like. And although the end of DT7 gives us the Crimson King, I was hoping for more. It was too brief!! I was also disappointed with the way Flagg was so easily dispatched in DT7, but then again we already had The Stand, so I guess there's no reason for Steve to write about Flagg again. But the Crimson King absolutely warrants a full length novel and it wouldn't be irrelevant or indulgent because we still don't know much about the Crimson King even after reading DT7. Has Steve ever talked about writing about CK again?

    Realised I should have phrased my message a bit better - Steve has already written about Flagg numerous times, so both us as readers and Steve as a writer have already gotten to enjoy Flagg many times, whereas Steve hasn't written all that much on CK. I would like to see more Crimson King because CK had been built up for 10 years as either the ultimate 'villain' in the Dark Tower series (nobody could say for certain until DT7 was released), or was at the very least a greater 'villain' than Flagg in the Dark Tower universe (and since just about everyone already loved Flagg, who could blame us for having high expectations for the Crimson King?). Although I would also like to have seen more Flagg, I understand that Steve has already written about Flagg many times. But a whole novel about CK would be very fresh, and I would love to see it.

    Check out the Marvel Comics graphic novels for a pretty danged good rendering of ole CK. (And no, I'm not on the payroll of Marvel-just like the what they've done with it Excelsior!!)
