Story Synopsis 

The Twilight Zone #1 features the story "Blanks", written by Dan Watters with art by Morgan Beem. 

• Plot: The story centers on Edward Kane, a wealthy and terminally ill man obsessed with conquering death. He funds a team of scientists to develop a serum that could grant eternal life and, in his impatience, insists on being the first human subject, ignoring their pleas for further safety research.
• The Twist: The untested serum causes a catastrophic mutation. Instead of achieving personal immortality, Kane inadvertently triggers a phenomenon where people in the surrounding city are replaced by featureless, "blank" versions of themselves, a physical manifestation of his self-interest and hubris.
• Theme: The narrative explores themes of corporate arrogance, the dangers of playing God with science, and how the selfish actions of the powerful can lead to widespread disaster and a loss of humanity. The black-and-white art style is intended to evoke the feel of the classic television series
