Peace and light to one of the last vanguards of the golden age of television. George Clayton Johnson, author of some of the most iconic Twilight Zone episodes (Kick the Can, 4 of Us Are Dying, Game of Pool) passed away. Also if you are not aware of his great legacy, George was also wrote the novel Logan's Run (with Bill Nolan), Star Trek's Man Trap, Oceans 11 and 8 great TZ episodes.
I had the honor of working on an adaptation some of his lesser known materials for a graphic novel. I met him a few times to discuss which stories and how best to link them together. He was always warm, generous and and gracious with allowing me to play in his creative sandbox.
