3-D: WHACK! "3-D-t's" Part 2

We began 3-D Week with the 3-D-t's and we end the week with them...

...but only two months after WHACK! #1 came out, things for the 3-D comic industry have not gone well at all!

How close was this story to the truth about the collapse of the 3-D comics phemonenon?

Read this page on 3-D comics expert Ray Zone's site, then decide for yourself.

Remember, in the comic story, the names have been changed to protect the guilty!

Reversing roles from the previous 3-D-t's story, Joe Kubert penciled and Norman Maurer inked this story.

Who wrote it is unknown, but it could be either or both of them.

They also satirized those impressionable youngsters who wanted to do 3-D comics...

Wonder how many kids actually sent in a dollar...

We hope you've enjoyed 3-D Week.

3-D: WHACK! "3-D-t's"

What did people in the comics industry think of the 1950s 3-D fad?

I'd say this 1953 tale from the all-3-D first issue of WHACK! (St John's MAD comic clone) explains it pretty well.

(And, yes, you need those 3-D glasses!)

Penciled by Norman Maurer, inked by Joe Kubert, the writer is unknown, though it could be Maurer.

Next issue, there was a non-3-D sequel story about the collapse of the 3-D comic trend.

Talk about your short-lived fads!

We'll be presenting that story on Friday!
