Now IDW Publishing is taking that original teleplay and turning it into a comic mini-series. Overseen by Ellison himself, the series will be adapted by Scott Tipton and David Tipton with interior art painted by J. K. Woodward.

Star Trek: Harlan Ellison's Original City on the Edge of Forever Teleplay #1 (of 5) will be available in June.
