Popular Post Silver Posted November 23, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2023 (edited) Super stoked to get this one in. I have a complete nice run of St. Johns TOR by Joe Kubert, only missing the #2. Technically there was no #2, it went 1, 3, 4, 5. The #2 was 3-D Comics volume 1 #2. There were two versions of it, a green cover and this blue one. I have passed on many copies because they were drab, low grade, and/or missing the glasses. I found this beautiful copy with bright white pages; clean glossy cover, and the glasses are attached! Check out the awesome Joe Kubert art! The whole issue is dedicated to Tor!

Congrats on getting such a pristine copy! I actually bought this issue at the news stand in the fall of '53, for a silver quarter, and still have it. I too like 3D comic books.

Silver Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 @fifties is the green cover issue the exact same interiors as the blue cover one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative, it has entirely different stories, and titled the same as number 1. There were not two number 1's and no number 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two 3-D comics #2, the first of which came in both standard size and magazine size. Each 3-D #2 is different than the other and different than any of the Tor comics run.

fifties Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I'm afraid that you're both somewhat wrong. If you look at my post showing some of my 3D fare, you will see that St. John put out "3D Comics", with both a one and a two issue. There was no "Tor" title; the name was simply referenced under the masthead. Adamstrange is correct in that there were two sizes of the first. The one I bought off the news stand is larger.

The covers can't match many of the other publishers fare at the time; Atlas, EC, Charlton, etc. Their four stories usually only included one W/O a happy ending.

I got a 6.0 from *ahem* another grading company a few months ago for just a few bucks more than this sold and was surprised I even got it for that, but I've thought some of their covers were a bit underappreciated. genrlzod and LadyDeath 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I always enjoyed covers by Whitney and Bald on ACG. Definitely some memorable ones. Edited November 25, 2023 by LadyDeath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
