Guess I’m just Mr. Low Grade lately…can’t resist these “affordable” gems. Although a hungry mouse got to the lower corner, fortunately it didn’t affect the story throughout the book…

Picked these up in a fun collection a few weeks ago. Was going to sell them because I was never impressed with the #1 3-D issue. These are another story though. Kubert always said this was his favorite work. I have to agree. Top of the mark. 

There is also a page in each where Joe and Norm would talk to their fans. This was 1954 and they are defending their work. Obviously, concerned about their future.

By this time, Kubert had completed his military service, had a dozen years of experience in industry (he started at age 13), and, in partnership with Maurer had started a business for 3D comics.  Now, he was ready to stretch himself creatively.  Rather than drawing the characters, stories and concepts of others, he would be in the lead.

I don't think it's the greatest work he ever did, but, as you found, it's really a lot of fun.
