Get out the red/blue 3-D glasses (red on the left, blue on the right)...
...cause it's 3-D Week at all the RetroBlogs™!
Got your glasses on?
Here we go with the first 3-D comic book...
This tale was especially-designed for use as a 3-D story (unlike some comic tales that were adapted from 2-D to 3-D during the 1950s 3-D craze.)
In fact, this was the first 3-D comic.
And, it was a 2,000,000 plus-seller through two printings!
These days, most comics sell under 25,000 copies.
A comic selling 100,000 is cause for celebration!
Every company from DC, EC, and Atlas (Marvel's predecessor), to Harvey and Archie tried 3-D books, none lasted more than two issues.
But little St John, who did the first one also did the only ones that ran for three or four issues!

That was great!! Fortunately, I still have a pair of 3-D glasses.
