Recap

A young boy, Craig, reads a comic about his hero, Azoth the Avenger. He hears his abusive father Darrell yelling downstairs. As Craig paints his Azoth figurine, he sees an inscription on the base. Darrell comes in and asks Craig how he’s doing in basketball, and is disgusted with the fact Craig “lets” himself get beat up. After Darrell leaves, Craig examines the inscription and compares it to a code key in the comic book. He recites the words and the figure glows with light, and then disappears. Craig turns, and sees the real Azoth the Avenger appear in his room...

Episode Quotes
Host: (opening narration) Craig Hansen's only refuge from an abusive father is a fantasy realm, home to that heroic protector of the weak, Azoth the Avenger. But Craig is about to discover what happens when fantasy becomes reality in The Zone.

Craig Hansen: In the comics you always win the battle and you end up with some babe, but you never kiss her or nothing.
Azoth the Avenger: The comics leave out the best part.

Host: (closing narration) Sometimes we pray for a hero to deliver us from evil. Armed with nothing more than his newfound courage and a powerful imagination, Craig Hansen discovered that hero was none other than himself. Chalk one up for the good guys in The Twilight Zone.
