Rod Serling (illustrated by Lars Brown)

Rod Serling is perhaps best known as the host for The Twilight Zone, an American TV show that ran from 1959-1964 and features stories of paranormal and sci-fi themes.

After Daniel is abducted, Lyta Hall spends her time at home hoping to hear from the police that they have found her son. She is in shock. She is an emotional wreck as any parent would be.

She watches TV although she cannot really concentrate on the programs. At 4:00 am The Twilight Zone reruns are being shown on the station that Lyta has playing in the background as she waits for her son to be returned to her.

He can be seen in Sandman # 59, page 20, panel 2.

Lars did a great job with this portrait of Rod Serling. When I see this portrait Serling looks slightly manic, not calm and composed as he appears when he is the narrator of The Twilight Zone. I think its something in his eyes. Even so, he is very clearly the Rod Serling we all know and love.
