| I wouldn't have found this book if it weren't for the Reading Club. Reading Forbidden Worlds #60 was like reading three Twilight Zone or two Twilight Zone and a One Step Beyond epsiode in color. The introduction to the cover story even sounded a bit like a Twilight Zone introduction, even though the publication of this comic almost certainly preceded the television series. I'm not a horror fan, but I've always liked these cute stories with a bizarre element to them. |
