    The Outer Limits program from 1964 led me to buy the graphic novel. Vic Perrin was the computer voice as well as the Outer Limits control voice. Harlan Ellison wrote the story. If not the best episode it's in the top 3 episodes for the Outer Limits series of the 1960s. Just a side note. The episode was filmed in the same building as the final scenes of the 1982 film Blade Runner.

    A powerful, unique Sf graphic story by Harlan Ellison, linked to the 1964 "Outer Limits" television script of the same title. However, I wasn't overly impressed by the artwork. It could have been a stronger effort visually.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The inhumans walk among us
    Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2008
    Harlan Ellison's screenplay for the "Demon with a Glass Hand" for THE OUTER LIMITS is rightly considered one of the best ever done for early television in any genre. The entire concept of a man fighting off a band of aliens in a beautiful and mysterious closed space (the Bradbury Building in downtown LA), with no memory of why they want to kill him or what his mission is, made for an ingenious constructed hour of television, and also was probably great for keeping the budget down. It also featured a superb central performance by Robert Culp as Trent, the man with no memory and with a talking transparent computer where his hand should be.

    Marshall Rogers, with his exquisite gift for architectural draftsmanship and for innovative (and highly cinematic) frame composition and placement, might have seemed the ideal choice to translate this screenplay into a graphic novel format, but unfortunately much of the story depends upon feeling that much rides upon the very humanity of the central character, and faces engaged in dialogue were never Rogers' strongest suit. Moreover, instead of making Trent an everyman, Rogers draws him here as a Schwarzneggerian musclebound killing machine, which makes the character's humanity seem even further diluted. The entire thing seems to have been done originally for a black-and-white format, but color has been added for this format but only in extremely muted ways: with browns and aquas. It looks more visually monotonous than it should. The story is so strong, and Rogers's artwork is so gorgeous (even at its least interesting), that it's still worth finding; but it's not as much of an eye-opener as his other stunning graphic novel DETECTIVES INC. or his work for DETECTIVE COMICS or DR. STRANGE.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great story, wonderful surprise!

    The version of this script produced for the Outer Limits (produced by Bob Justman of Star Trek - TOS) was excellent, and the first time I saw it, it creeped me out out due to pacing, lighting, makeup, and the sense of threat.

    Going back to the episode now after many years, it's still good, but not the riveting watch it originally was (I'm getting old, you know?)

    So imagine my surprise to discover that this graphic novel version of the original script as written, is actually *better* than the screened version, and makes more sense. Harlan always used to complain people messed with his scripts - and in this case, he was right. If they'd made THIS version, it would have been an Oscar/Emmy/Globe winner.

    So, Harlan (bless your soul), you were right: you DO know how to write!!! (rude expletive deleted, even though he used one himself).
