This comic book is so spot on with the television show it’s eerie.  We have the sly little introduction (on TV made by Rod Serling) where they let us “meet” our soon to be disoriented friend, the short and to the point stories and the true essence of the kind of tales we have grown to expect from The Twilight Zone.

“Takers” is a story about a man so against social welfare programs it oozes from his every pore…and his mouth…constantly.  He winds up going back in time and believes he’s to stop FDR’s New Deal plan from going through.

“Not Faire” is s tragic tale.  Truly tragic.  A short story about a poor man that just doesn’t seem to fit in anywhere he goes (who can relate?).  There’s a point where you really do feel so much sympathy for this guy.  Kind of like the episode “Time Enough At Last” from The Twilight Zone television show.  It’s almost heartbreaking.

Then, “The Secret Over-Sharer”.  Now, THIS is a tale of truth and warning, in my opinion.  This story really taps into the essence of what has happened with the advent of technology and its continued growth.  It’s almost like it’s taken over our lives.  And this story is a tale of woe and caution.

I really liked reading this annual issue.  I know it’s from a few years ago but, it was so much fun to read.  The artwork is good and the stories are just so classic Twilight Zone, it can’t help but make one smile while reading it.  Any Twilight Zone fan would love this.  It’s classic.
