Companion Book The Outer Limits at 50 Arrives in Late March; Release Event DetailsBetween 1963 and 1965, ABC aired 49 episodes of the strange and the macabre in “The Outer Limits” (review). In honor of its 50th birthday, Creature Features is releasing The Outer Limits at 50 and celebrating with a premiere event that coincides with the opening of a new art exhibit.

Synopsis:
Creature Features is proud to present a one-of-a-kind book: THE OUTER LIMITS AT 50, written and edited by David J. Schow, author of the essential OUTER LIMITS COMPANION and the world’s leading expert on the series.

This unprecedented look at the beloved show presents over 150 new pages of rare photographs and collectibles—including many in full color, unearthed here for the first time ever.

Published exclusively by Creature Features, with a lavish introduction by original OUTER LIMITS zine publisher Ted C. Rypel, this limited trade paperback is jam-packed with never-before-published publicity and making-of photos, five decades of rare merchandise, exclusive photos of surviving props, plus stunning, newly commissioned OUTER LIMITS artworks from legendary artists Bernie Wrightson, Tim Bradstreet, Steve Bissette, and more!
