I think I liked this as much as I did due to the illustrations. It gave the poem the captivation that it seemed to be lacking.

This illustrated poem is more atmospheric than substantive, an early character sketch of the figure who would eventually grow to be Stephen King's recurring villain Randall Flagg. King wrote the poem when he was in college -- well before Flagg would first pop up in his novels -- but it wasn't widely circulated until the publication of this edition with accompanying drawings over forty years later. For fans of the Walkin' Dude it's neat to get this glimpse of his initial genesis, but there are no real revelations here and the whole thing is as inessential as its scant size suggests.
