Solve These DARK TOWER Riddles in Honor of the 19th (Exclusive)

The long awaited adaptation of Stephen King‘s The Dark Tower is still a few months away, but since today is the 19th of January, it’s time to play a little game. Within The Dark Tower novel and several of King’s other stories, the number 19 has special significance that is likely to be explored in the film as well. But before the movie tackles that mystery, we’ve got three Dark Tower riddles that need to be solved…by you!

First up, we’ve got a riddle of three images, including the partially concealed face of the Man in Black, Walter Padick, as played by Matthew McConaughey in the film. Taken together, what do these drawings mean?
