One of most ground-breaking shows in the history of television, The Twilight Zone has become a permanent fixture in pop culture. This new graphic novel series re-imagines the show's most enduring episodes, in all their original uncut glory, originally written by Rod Serling himself, and now adapted for a new generation―a generation that has ridden Disney's Twilight Zone Tower of TerrorTM ride, studied old episodes in school, watched the annual marathons, and paid homage to the show through the many random take-offs that show up in movies and TV shows everywhere.

ROD SERLING (creator) has won the most Emmy awards for dramatic writing in the history of television. He wrote over seventyfive episodes of the Twilight Zone series. for which he won three of his Emmys. He was also the show's creator, host, and narrator.
MARK KNEECE (adapter) has written stories for numerous comics, including Batman: Legends of the Dark. In 1993, he came to Savannah College of Art and Design and helped found the Ssequential Art and Animation Department, where he teaches comics writing.
REBEKAH ISAACS (illustrator, The After Hours) is also the illustrator of The Wright Brothers, which she completed while studying at the Savannah College of Art and Design, where she received her BFA in Sequential Art. She currently lives in Dahlonega, Georgia.
Grade 8 Up–For fans of the classic television program, Kneece's adaptations of two well-known episodes into comic format will be a delight. Both have the weird and creepy elements that the show was known for, using the supernatural to comment on the real world. After Hours is the story of a mannequin who has forgotten her identity and believes that she is a real woman; the scene in which she is locked in a department store after hours has all the eerie feel that it would have had on screen. Walking Distance features a man traveling back in time to witness his childhood and has the message that reclaiming your past is impossible. Because of this, the latter is more likely to appeal to adults than teens. In addition, the dated and mono-cultural nature of the stories and images, both designed to reflect the feel of the 1950s world of Twilight Zone, may be off-putting to students expecting the adaptations to have a more modern or diverse feel. The stories are exceptionally well told and are brilliantly adapted to a new medium, but their nostalgic feel is more likely to suit those familiar with the television show.–Alana Abbott, James Blackstone Memorial Library, Branford, CT
