My complete collection of The Twilight Zone was looking a little haphazard. About half of them were the original releases that came in the regular size cases. Others were in the thinpak cases that came with the big "Collection" sets. And the first 5 from the 40th anniversary gift set came in CD Jewel cases.
At first I was going to change them all to thinpak cases, but I couldn't get ahold og the original covers for volumes 1 - 5.
So then I decided to try and make my own big case. This was partially inspired by the excellent cases that Jeff_HR made awhile back. Of course, anyone familiar with my Star Trek cases knows I am a fan of big spine shots. So being more or less a one trick pony, here's what I did...
Here's a look at the whole collection's spines...

The first 3 volumes would be six disc cases, the next 3 would be 7 disc cases. The final case would either be a six or a seven, that would include Volumes 40 -43 plus the two "Treasures of" collections (which for the sake of the spine, I am calling Volumes 44 and 45) and if you have it, The American Masters Documentary on Serling that came with the 4oth Anniversary Gift Set.
Here are the fronts of all 7 editions. To see them bigger including the spines and the back covers (which are collages from the episodes) click on the links below the covers.

I admit, the quality of some of the pictures leaves a little to be desired. I started taking screen caps from the DVDs, but that was incredibly labor intensive. So, many of the pictures I took from the web, and did what I could with them. I have them all printed up and sitting on my shelf, and overall, I think they look pretty good, though they may not be up to DVD Cover Art's high standards. I'll have to see if they accept them or not. But for anyone interested, I should have the Hi-res versions up on my site in a day or so.
