With the battle between the evil John Farson's Big Coffin Hunters and Steven Deschain and his gunslingers finally over, the true death toll is revealed. Will Roland's father be among the dead? Meanwhile, in Gilead, as Roland suffers from the after-effects of his multiple encounters with Maerlyn's Grapefruit, his ka-tet desperately requires his presence at the all-important coming-of-age feast the next night, or the consequences will be dire. Worse still, Cort, the gunslingers' mentor, has chosen his niece, Aileen, to become the betrothed of young Roland . . . and Cort rarely takes no for an answer

The stories told in the graphic novels take place when the hero of the Dark Tower books was a young boy. Part of this story is told as an extended flashback during the fourth novel, Wizard and Glass. So, yes, if you read these comics, there are plot elements from that book that will be revealed--for example, what happens with Roland's mother, which is likely the arc of the Treachery series.
In brief -- they're spoilers for a flashback. However, the writers are taking some liberties with the story, adding and changing slightly to suit their long-term purposes. They tie in things we learn from later in the series, too. I can't help but think they'd be somewhat confusing to a person who didn't know anything about the series, too.
