MAY 1976 (#70)
Gold Key Comics published a long-running Twilight Zone comic that featured
the likeness of Rod Serling introducing both original stories and occasional
adaptations of episodes. The comic outlived the television series by nearly
20 years and Serling by nearly a decade. A later revival of Twilight Zone
comics was published by Now Comics, spinning off of the 1980s revival of
the show.
"Soul Man" was written by Isaac Hayes and David Porter. The song was
successful as a number 2 hit by Atlantic Records soul duo Sam & Dave.
Samuel David "Sam" Moore (above) will be 81 in October. Dave
Porter died in 1988 from injuries sustained in a automobile
accident.
On Elvis’ first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, he was introduced
by Cleveland disc jockey Bill Randle, who was reportedly the first radio
personality to play an Elvis record outside the South.
