ROD SERLING, THE MASTER OF TV SUSPENSE AND FANTASY


This is the cover of the first TWILIGHT ZONE comic I ever bought. It was back in 1962 and I had been a fan of the TV show from its premiere in 1959 until it was canceled in 1964. The issue in question was the first published under the Gold Key label after Dell Publishing Co. ended its partnership with Western Publishing.
I bought almost every issue of TZ up until the early 70s and I still keep most of them in my collection. The quality of the stories and artwork varied, with the earlier ones being the best all around. 

These are some of my favorite issues:







There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension
as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between
light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit
of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of
imagination. It is an area which we call "The Twilight Zone".-Rod Serling
