Julia Eccleshare's comment:
Transocean Flight 33 leaves London bound for New York as scheduled. But a mysterious tailwind sends them far off course, hurtling back and forth through time. Can the crew get the passengers back to their own time . . . or are they stuck in The Twilight Zone?
Brilliantly conceived, the graphic novels in this series capture the TV drama of an iconic and cult classic TV show – The Twilight Zone - from the 1950s. Set in a world that is like our own but has another dimension, each book is a highly dramatic adventure powerfully told in striking visual images matched by a text that has been adapted from Rod Serling’s original scripts – in their entirety.

About The Author
Mark Kneece co-wrote a story in Alien World in 1987 for Pacific Comics and discovered a talent for comics writing. He has written stories for Hellraiser (Marvel / Epic), Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (DC Comics), The Spirit: New Adventures (Kitchen Sink Press) and Tarzan for the syndicated newspaper strip (United Media). He is the author of the Twilight Zone series, published by Bloomsbury in 2009.
Rod Serling was born in Syracuse, New York, the second of two sons of Esther (née Cooper) and Samuel Lawrence Serling. His brother, Robert J. Serling, later became a novelist. Serling was raised in Binghamton, New York, where he later graduated from Binghamton Central High School. He earned his B.A. in 1950 from Antioch College in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Though brought up in a Jewish family, Serling became a Unitarian Universalist. Serling's family had a summer home on Cayuga Lake, in New York's Finger Lakes region, which inspired the name "Cayuga Productions" for use on Twilight Zone productions.
The first episode of the Twilight Zone was shown in 1959.
