Laurel, NJ: Dynamite signed a offer with CBS consumer products to produce a comic book series based on one of the most captivating television shows of all time, The Twilight Zone, featuring all-new tales of science as well as superstition as written by acclaimed author as well as Babylon 5 developer J. Michael Straczynski, one of the privileged few celebrated as a special guest of San Diego Comic-Con worldwide 2013.
“One of the most deeply satisfying as well as creatively interesting experiences I’ve had in 25 years of composing for television as well as film was my stint on the new Twilight zone television series,” states Straczynski. “I’ve been a fan of the original series because I was tall sufficient to reach for the TV tuner. So I was profoundly thrilled when Nick Barrucci concerned me with the possibility of doing the new Twilight zone comic to find out from Dynamite.”
The Twilight zone took millions of television audiences on a regular journey to one more dimension, starting in 1959.

The Twilight Zone
Regarding the distinct nature of The Twilight zone series, Straczynski says, “The instant innovative concern to be resolved was: exactly how do you transplant or adapt the TV anthology style into comic form? private stand-alone problems don’t provide the issue-to-issue continuity you requirement to consistently bring in contemporary readers, as well as if it’s a year long arc, it’s not an anthology. The solution: three four-issue arcs that are linked by theme, character, as well as location… to ensure that in reading one arc you get one side of the story, with its own supernatural or science-fiction elements, then you turn the character around to one more character in that sequence who has his or her own story for the next four issues… as well as then at the end, you link all of these private stories into one overlapping tapestry, so you might actually view the book as private stories as at first published, or layer the pages to produce one huge story. It’s a great structure that I’m not sure has been attempted before, so this will be an terrible great deal of fun. I’m extremely thrilled to be working with Nick as well as his team on this book, as well as hope people will inspect out the books when they come out.”
“It’s a thrill, an absolute thrill, to not only establish new tales for Twilight Zone, however to welcome J. Michael Straczynski as our honored host,” states Nick Barrucci, CEO as well as publisher of Dynamite. “We’ve wished to work with him for years, as well as it’s finally materializing with this perfect combination: Straczynski and Twilight Zone, together again! The energy as well as interest behind the scenes is going to produce some really astonishing science fiction.”
