The Twilight Zone #1
- Written by DAN WATTERS
- Art by MORGAN BEEM
- Main cover art by MORGAN BEEM
- Variant covers by FRANCESCO FRANCAVILLA and DANI
- You are traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. Your next stop, THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
"The Twilight Zone is a genre unto itself," Watters said of the long-running science fiction anthology show. "It’s a cultural titan and a North Star in the strangest skies revealing what science fiction, fantasy and horror can do for us: revealing uncomfortable truths about what lies in our own hearts. This is precisely the vein we hope to tap with our story; the unsettled space between angry and unnerving that is forever the purview of The Twilight Zone."
"I have long been a fan of all horror, but creepy stories that slowly build to unnerve you have always been first in my heart. Few series have captured that feeling like The Twilight Zone," Beem added. "Like being trapped in a fever dream or moving through a liminal space, the stories play with the feeling of wrongness, of things out of place. This is the feeling Dan has masterfully captured in our story, and which I hope, through my deep love of all things creepy, will flow through the art. It might not shock you, but you may not be able to stop thinking about it in the middle of the night."

It's The Start of a New Era for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
IDW Publishing is set to release two brand-new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books, and one hails back to a fan-favorite animated series.
Created and hosted by Rod Sterling, the original The Twilight Zone premiered on television all the way back in 1959 and immediately established itself as a whole new kind of pop culture phenomenon. Although The Twilight Zone followed in the footsteps of previous suspenseful sci-fi anthology series, its overwhelming popularity quickly elevated it above almost any and all competition. The original series came to a close after five years on the air on CBS, yet it has been revived numerous times across a variety of mediums in the decades since. The most recent revival, helmed by Jordan Peele, ran for twenty episodes across two seasons, and was largley hailed as a success by critics.
The Twilight Zone #1 is currently set to arrive in comic book stores everywhere on September 24.
