An Adequate Adaptation Of Classic Twilight Zone

Very well put together, /The After Hours/ once again showcases the fact that Sterling 's famous Twilight Zone series is just as good now as it was so many years ago. Kneece brings to the table a few minor fixes, and Isaacs illustration is crisp and has great flow; All of these factors culminate in an exciting retelling of /The After Hours/. Marsha is shopping for a golden thimble that she saw on sale, and when she arrives at the department store, receives some very uncommon customer service. In the ensuing chaos of the day at the department store, she ends up falling asleep inside, and wakes up in a seemingly empty store. What follows has that ever-creepy vibe that The Twilight Zone is so famous for.

Marsha White is shopping for a gift - a gold thimble for her mother. She is taken to the 18th-floor of Brimble's department store, and is waited on by an extremely odd saleswoman. The woman clearly knows Marsha, but she cannot place her. Things go from bad to worse after Marsha discovers that the thimble has been damaged. After registering a complaint, Marsha falls asleep and is awakened to find herself trapped inside the department store. The rest can only be described as a "Twilight Zone" experience. Just as in WALKING DISTANCE, this graphic novel offers clean lines and bold coloring. Story panels are very easy to follow, and text bubbles are large and clear. Another great addition to Rod Sterling's THE TWILIGHT ZONE graphic novel series! Reviewed by: LadyJay
