The Twilight Zone: The Midnight Sun by Mark Kneece, Anthony Spay, Rod Serling

4.0

Oh wow, that was phenomenal. I just found these at the library, apparently people are making eight episodes of the classic Twilight Zone series into graphic novels - and if they're all like this, what an incredible achievement! Great foreword talking about how the TZ was ahead of its time in many ways, and able (like all good SF) to raise issues in a fantastical context that censorship would forbid in a realistic one. This novel takes the Robert Frost poem "some say the world will end in fire, some in ice" to plangent extremes - and even with the epic apocalyptic scope manages to focus in on, and develop, two realistic, both strong and weak but always-redeeming characters, the altruistic, artistic Nora and Mrs. Bronson. Also stunningly for its time, this is a story about two women who take care of each other even as the world careens into madness. Gorgeously done.
