There's A Signpost Up Ahead! Your Next Stop Is 'The Twilight Zone' Comic

Dynamite Entertainment takes readers to an abstract and surreal dimension in The Twilight Zone Annual 2014. Writer Mark Rahner is joined by artists Randy Valiente, Andrea Mutti, and Edu Menna as they bring three weird and frightening short tales that pay tribute to the classic TV series.

Rahner discusses his adaptation of the TV show, "The story in this annual ranges from horrifically disturbing to comically whimsical. I hope readers hear Rod Serling's voice - and a little of his anger - when they read my Twilight Zone annual. I feel like I was born to write this stuff, because I suspect my mom used one of those cone-speaker things to hardwire me with Twilight Zone while I was still in the womb. Instant addict."

Rahner continues by comparing the show's  format to his writing, "I wonder if it's easy for some people to forget how much nerve Serling showed in those shows. He used them as vehicles for blistering commentary - odd, entertaining fantasy, science fiction and horror vehicles. And that kind of nerve inspired me from my first comic book, Rotten, right on through to this one. My Twilight Zone stories are old-school in their approach - you can't improve on his formulas - to current things that would have given pause to our cigarette-smoking host."

Plot Synopsis:

The Twilight Zone Annual 2014 contains three stand-alone tales of the bizarre: A politician determined to cut aid to the poor finds himself in a Dust Bowl town in the Great Depression. Reality begins to slip away for a crusader against social network "over-sharing." And a Renaissance player who doesn't fit in with his present-day peers gets an ugly taste of the real thing.

The Twilight Zone Annual 2014 is slated for release on June 18th, 2014. Just like the TV series, The Twilight Zone comic promises to take readers to another dimension of imagination.
