You tell us, you asked the question.
I don't believe he is. I think King is the "King" of pop culture novels. Wide variety of content, very easily read, good world building.
Is he perfect? No, far from it. His Dark Tower series shows his weaknesses, with strong stories at the beginning, solid middle volumes, and collapsing under itself towards the end. Book 7 was disappointing in many ways.
