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.

Reading Room SPACEHAWK "Pirates of Uranus" in 3-D!

Get those 3-D glasses out kiddies (red lens on the left, blue lens on the right)...

...as we look in on one more version of what many believe to be the prototypical SpaceHawk tale...

Ray Zone did a magnificent job converting Wolverton's art to 3-D in 3-D Zone #18 (1989).

We hope you enjoyed this Halloween treat, and follow us for the rest of the week as we present more goodies during this most sacred of holidays.

Reading Room: COMMANDER BATTLE AND HIS ATOMIC SUBMARINE...in REAL 3-D! Conclusion

When Last We Left Our 3-D Heroes...

...that really says it all, doesn't it?
BTW, wouldn't this comic make a great multi-million dollar cgi-fx movie?
(Wait a sec...they did a BattleShip flick...and, man, did it suck!)

Aquatic aliens vs the US Navy!
These guys at American Comics Group were ahead of their time...by over 50 years...and theirs was better!
On with the story...and remember; Left Lens Red/Right Lens Blue!

BTW, you can read the original "TrueVision" (non real 3-D) version of this chapter HERE!

Script by Richard Hughes, the Stan Lee of ACG who wrote practically everything during his tenure as editor/writer!

Pencils by Sheldon Moldoff, inks by Odgen Whitney and others.
As for how this 3-D adaptation came about...

You'll note that, in 1990, without the Grand Comics Database and its' contributors, the artists of Commander Battle were mis-identified.
ACG rarely ran credits before the Silver Age, so the mistake on this 1950s tale was understandable.

When Last We Left Our 3-D Heroes...

Now, that's a synopsis!

(For the record, the "saucer" still looks like a doughnut!)

On with the story...and get out those old red/blue glasses, kids!

Remember, red on the left and blue on the right!

I could see the editorial conference now...

"OK, guys, for our first issue we have..

3-D (sort of) effects!

An atomic sub!

Evil aliens!

A "flying saucer"!

The underwater city of Atlantis!

A giant sea monster!

Did we leave anything out?"

Find out tomorrow in the pulse-pounding conclusion!

BTW, you can read the original, pseudo 3-D version of this chapter HERE!

Reading Room: COMMANDER BATTLE AND HIS ATOMIC SUBMARINE...in REAL 3-D!

Recently, we presented this pseudo 3-D comic tale...

...and then, we discovered that the legendary Ray Zone had taken the story and coverted it to real 3-D!

So get out those old red/blue glasses, kids!

Remember, red on the left and blue on the right!

Travel back to the 1950s, when atomic power was all that stood between us and flying saucers...

Oddly enough, the "flying saucer" looks more like a flying doughnut...or the 1950s concept of a space station as seen in then-contemporary films like Conquest of Space!

Be here tomorrow for Part 2 when we'll see who's behind the "flying saucer"...
