Beschreibung:

3D EC Classics #1: CGC certified: VG+ (4.5) Green Label (Qualified). One pair of 3D glasses missing. INCOMPLETE. Off-white to white pages. 3D TFTC #2: CGC certified: VG (4.0) Green Label (Qualified). 3D glasses missing. Top staple removed. INCOMPLETE. Off-white to white pages. Covers: Harvey Kurtzman and Al Feldstein Art by Wood, Krigstein, Evans, Ingels, Davis, Craig, Orlando. GPAnalysis: Most recent similar results: 3D EC Classics in 5.0 (Qualified) sold for $125 in April 2021; 3D TFTC in 4.5 (Qualified) sold for $380 in June 2020. The 3D comics fad started in July, 1953, with the release of Three Dimension Comics #1 (featuring Mighty Mouse). Within the next year or so, a total of fifty different 3D comics were produced to cash in on the craze. By the time EC released its two 3D mags in 1954, the craze had pretty much run its course. Both books had small print runs (approximately 300,000 each), and both sold poorly. "EC was a latecomer to the 3-D comics craze. Its books in the format arrived on newsstands when the fad had cooled considerably." — Bill Schelly, Harvey Kurtzman The Man Who Created MAD and Revolutionized Humor in America. Fantagraphics: 2015, p. 285. A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $30, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Ten of the 15 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
