introduction, Harlan Ellison - "Riding The Daymare"
"Crazy" was an original teleplay from the second eighties
revival of The Twilight Zone (this one in syndication). It
is the story of a loan shark named Arky Lochner who makes a deal with
a demon and the deals he has to make to get out of that deal.
According to a 1998 interview with Ellison in Comic Book Profiles
(Issue 3, Summer 1998) Ellison and Adam's working relationship was
contentious as they butted heads about many items including a hat
on the main character Arky's head that Adams refused to add. However,
Ellison gives an overall positive opinion of Adams and even says
he would work with him again "except," he says, "I would have to
take an awful lot of Valium."
