Space Force Saturdays SPACE BUSTERS "Battle for Alana"

No, your eyes do not deceive you...

...This Space Busters #1.5 tale is in 3-D!

Put your 3-D glasses on (blue lens on right eye!) and enjoy!

One of the changes made for the second issue of Space Busters was to expand the war against Belzar as the aliens lost their hold on Mars and "Earthian" forces pushed outward!

Human traitor Senstral commands these attempts to "hold the line", after having failed to do so on Mars!

When Ziff-Davis dropped their comics line (except for G.I. Joe), several publishers bought up the unpublished material, with St John picking up the bulk of it!

This never-published Space Busters story by Bernie Krigstein was converted to 3-D to fill out the St John one-shot Daring Adventures 3-D (1953)!

Reading Room LARS OF MARS 3-D "When Terrorists Die..."

Get out the 3-D glasses, kiddies...

...as we present the final, never-reprinted Lars of Mars tale...from 1987???

Eclipse Comics and 3-D expert Ray Zone were using a number of old comic strips as the basis for a series of 3-D comics.

But this was an entirely-new tale created specifically for Eclipse's Lars of Mars 3-D #1 (1987), as detailed below...

The rest of the book were reprints of "EarthShaker" and "Terror Weapon" modified to 3-D.

Monday Madness WHACK "Flush Jordan"

Yes, it's a Flash Gordon spoof...

..but it has a cultural reference most readers won't recognize!
Ming the Merciless usually looks like this...

...so who's "Bing", the golf-playing guy in the Hawaiian shirt and porkpie hat?

He's Bing Crosby, singer, comedian, obsessive golfer, and (when this comic was published) a pop culture icon!
With that in mind, please read...

The guy at the end, whining about "Thanks for the Memory" is comedian Bob Hope...

...Bing's co-star/rival in the 1940s-50s "Road to..." movie series as well as a pop culture legend in his own right!

Note: Thanks for the Memory" was Hope's personal theme song, used primarily to close his radio show, live appearances, and TV specials!

This never-reprinted story from #2 of St John's MAD clone WHACK was illustrated by William Overgard for 3-D use, but the collapse of the 3-D comic market forced St John to publish it in regular color comic format!

Sincerest Form of Parody

Design of the Week THE FIRST CHRISTMAS...in 3-D!

Each week, we post a limited-edition design, to be sold for exactly 7 days, then replaced with another!

This week...it's a never-reprinted comic cover from the 1950, which not only offers a tasteful and beautiful painting of the Nativity scene by legendary sci-fi artist Kelly Freas, but also a kool, kitchy element with the fact it's the cover of a 3-D comic!

Available on mugs, buttins, t-shirts, tote bags, literally dozens of kool kollectibles that would make great stocking stuffers!

BTW, you can read the tale behind the cover HERE!

(Make sure you have your 3-D glasses!)

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Conclusion)

We Have Already Seen...

Victorian-era inventor John travels to the future and discovers that, after reaching a pinnacle of scientific development, mankind has deteriorated to two groups of primitives!

Above-ground dwellers are peaceful, but those who lurk below are savage!

The underground humans steal John's time-travel vehicle...and then, one of his new-found friends, a woman named Weena.

Seeking both, the chronic argonaut goes below the surface, where he discovers the hostile cave dwellers, known as "Morlocks", are hyper-sensitive to light.

Finding his machine and the woman, John heads for the surface with her, planning to return for his vehicle...

Note: John says to the Morlocks; "Perhaps one of my distant ancestors will meet you!"

If they're in the future, wouldn't it be one of his descendents?

Reading Room 3-D COLOR CLASSICS: TIME MACHINE (Part 2)

When Last We Left Our Chronic Argonaut...

...(note the reference to HG Wells' earlier time travel tale!)

Victorian inventor John travels to the future, where he discovers humans reached a remarkable level of scientific achievement, then apparently lost their knowledge over generations and became gentle primitives!

But not all of them!

When his time-travel vehicle is stolen and taken underground, John pursues the thieves, he discovers some humans had become savage primitives!

To Be Concluded...Tomorrow!

Adapted by Peter Stone, with layouts by Neal Adams and finishes by Adams, Rodolfo Damaggio, Andres Klasic, and John Nyberg, this adaptation takes considerable liberties with the original novel.

But, to be fair, almost every adaptation, no matter the media, has made changes, usually due to technical (sfx) or space limitations.
