Other than reading about him in POTA, I think my first exposure to him was watching his <i>Night Gallery</i> show in the late 1970s.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-87565655732643930382015-01-14T16:55:41.591+00:002015-01-14T16:55:41.591+00:00I had never heard of Rod Serling until I read this...I had never heard of Rod Serling until I read this POTA.

Then again, I think Adams always claims that Kane was one of his big influences. So he may have been trying to do a cover in the style of Kane.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-73084705317395457992015-01-12T11:25:05.189+00:002015-01-12T11:25:05.189+00:00I've never seen it before full size, but the f...I've never seen it before full size, but the figure (esp. left hand) and cape of the Dracula figure on that cover look very Gil Kane-like - any chance that it's a collaboration with Adams?Gey Blabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658901454566408193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-12837070046073740042015-01-12T05:20:34.681+00:002015-01-12T05:20:34.681+00:00You're right Steve - that is a lovely Gene Col...You're right Steve - that is a lovely Gene Colan cover. No big surprise there, but it is unusually considerate of the colourist not to bugger it up, which seemed to be standard practice with the old weeklies.<br /><br />Ayn Rand flick on the tv?
