Comic book script archive is the link.
The photo is Count Gregore / John Ferguson.
I'm going to ask him to be 'the Hobo."
I think I'll board it today.
The story has changed. No eyes in the sack. Just horror reaction shots. Gregore looking evil as the last shot when the man on the street looks up from the sack.
Edit
Didn't board it because I had no script. Now I have a script. And shots. Now I could board it.

Black Bolt on my index card. Came out alright.
I should be the Hobo. It's obvious to me now.

I love that you are doing this!!
Viva Ellis!
Channel that anger into creative energy.
That's what I'm doing!
I would be better off for sure.
17 shot script of The Hobo's Kit (tentative title)(17 shots because I count from zero)
Might be more shots. I was going to start boarding it. And I realized I couldn't do that without a script of some sort.
Even as minimal as this is. There has to be some sort of shot count before you can begin.
For me anyway.
0. establishing long shot-film row-okc
1. Man leaving a building-film row area OKC. Putting in ear buds.

The end
New, better title - THE HOBO'S BINDLE
"The Hobo's Bindle"!!!
A bindle is like a bundle, right?
Do we see what's in the bag? Is it the eyes??
Sounds real good. Have you thought about who will like this? Who it is meant for? Fer instance, will it be targeting the Twilight Zone nostalgia crowd? (which brings new cascade of questions: should it be in B& W? Should it be a period piece, i.e., '60's setting? Special attention to mimicking music/camera/mood of original series?) Or should it be directed toward a contemporary horror crowd? Or be a spoof of same?
I am glad you asked that BW question. It should be in BW.
No spoofing. Playing it straight.
Bindle is that classic sack or kerchief with items in it, trhown over the shoulder, hanging off a stick.
The eyes were the early vision. But that is a needless, problem causing prop. Those in the early development will know it was eyes.
