Original City On The Edge of Forever Screenplay To Be Adapted As Comic Books

Harlan Ellison Should Be Happy!

Hurray, hurray! Just breaking news: Harlan Ellison is probably dancing around his living room right now. For a guy who prides himself on his practically trademark grumpiness, this is a welcome change. I've sat in on his talks at conventions and enjoyed his lessons in "How Not To Write a Science Fiction Story", gleefully taking in Harlan's humor and staring with wide-eyed wonder at the all-powerful author as he shone a huge, toothy smile at his audience.
I've also read his scathingly sinister emails to publicity agents, threatening that he's never review another science-fiction compilation unless he got to keep the galley copy, and that he'd bad-mouth about publishers to authors so that they'd never bring their work to them again. I can see him gnashing his teeth as he signed those letters, practically tearing the paper with his ball-point pen! 

Now, after all the years that Ellison has spent ruminating over the hatchet-job that was done to his beautiful script by top Star Trek executives, the editors, and the censors - now the real "City on The Edge of Forever" will be available to Ellison and Star Trek fans, in the form of comic books, soon (I'm sure) to be bound in a fantastic hardcover that will have Trekkies salivating and sweating to get their hands on. Not that I'm immune! I'll probably give it a looksee, but then, I've already read Ellison's version. Where, you ask? I haven't the foggiest. Probably somewhere on the Interwebs, but before that - it may have been silently handed from person-to-person at conventions. Oh, I read it, and enjoyed it. What can I say? It was a raw, an open-mouthed scream that was so Star Trek Original Series the way I'd always dreamed it, that I sniffled my way through some parts. It was moving.

So! Get all crazy excited, and check out this link with more info:
