Twilight Zone #1 1991 NM Vintage Comic

Author: Harlan Ellison
Art: Neal Adams

The master of speculative fiction, Harlan Ellison, joins forces with legendary artist Neal Adams for a prestige collection of psychological and cosmic horror. In the lead story, "Crazy as a Soup Sandwich," the gritty streets of the human world collide with the cold bureaucracy of the afterlife. Arky Lochner is a man who thought he could outsmart the devil, but as the demon Caspian arrives to collect, Arky discovers that the terms of his contract are far more surreal—and far more permanent—than he ever imagined. Adams’ kinetic, realistic art brings a visceral intensity to this tale of a deal gone wrong in the most bizarre way possible.

The collection expands with the 18-page short story "Darkness Upon the Face of the Deep," a haunting exploration of the void that existed before the dawn of time. Ellison delves into a realm of pure, sentient shadow, crafting a narrative that is both epic in scope and deeply personal in its execution. As the characters confront the overwhelming weight of the primordial dark, the story challenges the very concepts of existence and divine will. This squarebound, high-production volume serves as a definitive showcase for the synergy between Ellison’s provocative prose and Adams’ unparalleled visual storytelling.
