ARLEN SCHUMER was named by Comic Book Artist magazine in 1998 as "one of the more articulate and enthusiastic advocates of comic book art in America"; his coffee table art book, The Silver Age of Comic Book Art, published by Collectors Press , won The Independent Book Publishers Award for Best Popular Culture Book of 2004; in 2010 ABC-TV 2020 called him "one of the country's preeminent authorities on comics and culture" after interviewing him and he is also one of comic book art's most idiosyncratic practitioners, creating award-winning illustrations for the advertising and editorial markets.
His first book, Visions From The Twilight Zone, published by Chronicle Books was based on the classic TV series, treating its images like art photography and its words like poetry. He's toured around the country since 1988 with a multimedia presentation based on the book, The Twilight Zone Forever--his commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the series, October 2, 2009 at The New York Times' TimesCenter in NYC--along with his other mini-marathon/VisuaLecture, The Five Themes of The Twilight Zone.
