Just finished reading this great graphic novel based on Harlan Ellison's fantastic screen play for the OUTER LIMITS. I also just finished reading the screen play that was published in his book BRAIN MOVIES, VOLUME ONE. Both read together made a fine read. Now, to pull out the DVD, and watch the episode.
This is the adaptation of the original screenplay, from which the excellent outer limits episode was created. The art is beautiful, the story even better than the aired version.
This one was a tough one to find, but I loved it. I've seen the Twilight Zone episode this was based on as well.
Fun, but I'd rather watch the filmed version: THE OUTER LIMITS episode featuring Robert Culp and directed by Byron Haskins (War of the Worlds).
I liked the story of the main character's hand but there was absolutely no reason that the girl should love him. Interesting but ultimately stupid.
Um homem sem memória descobre que é o guardião de uma Terra futura, invadida por alienígenas que se transportaram ao passado à sua caça, e do segredo que detém, sobre onde se refugiaram os terrestres. Homem que, ao lutar para recuperar a sua memória, descobrirá ser um andróide vindo do futuro, que encerra em si o futuro da humanidade, e está condenado ao castigo do tempo. História de Harlan Ellison com uma premissa interessante, mas adaptada de forma desastrosa.

Love Marshall Rogers' work, more than Ellison; so this may not have registered fully on me with one reading. I'd love to read this again!
For the record, I am a fan of Ellison's, but this adaptation left me cold. Also, I wasn't particularly a fan of the art and at times, some of the action passages were confusing as to what was going on (toward the end anyway). Overall, I would suggest passing, even for Ellison fans.(ASIDE: I read this as my continuing journey through my 80s oversized graphic novel collection. I have yet to find one that's satisfying.)1.5 stars rounded up to be nice.
