STAR WARS 3-D #3 COMIC BOOK 1988 RAREST LOW PRINT RUN NEW HOPE EMPIRE STRIKES!!


STAR WARS 3-D #3 COMIC BOOK!
HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM. THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST STAR WARS COMICS EVER!

Published in 1988 by the indie comic book company Blackthorne, this has an EXTREMELY LOW PRINT RUN because this was a period where very little in the way of Star Wars product was still being produced.

Star Wars 3-D is an unusual and long-forgotten title. Commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of Star Wars, it was one of the few titles published in the United States outside the offices of Marvel or Dark Horse.

Undoubtedly the reason it went to Blackthorne in the first place was because they had built experience publishing in 3-D prior to obtaining their limited Star Wars license. Lucas, as his recent efforts to convert the existing movies into 3-D attests, was likely fascinated by the prospect of doing something "special" for the anniversary. And so Star Wars went briefly to a minor publisher.

it stood alone for around 20 years as the only comic printed after the completion of the original trilogy which was set entirely between Episodes IV and V. Indeed, there are few novels which have been published in that period.

And its stories did attempt to add something new to the mythos. It rationally answered questions that were largely ignored by the trilogy:

• Who got the Lars farm on Tatooine after Luke?
• Following the destruction of the first Death Star, did the Rebels really have time to build that base on Hoth all by themselves?
• And when, really, was the first time Luke did battle with Darth Vader?

The events in this comic take place after the rebels have set up their base on Hoth.

Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa are on a mission to Dantooine to secure supplies for their new base on the planet Hoth. Along with R2-D2, the group meet up with an Ortolan Merchant to buy weapons. As Leia negotiates the deal, Luke is accosted by a group of thugs who lead him away from the meeting. The leader of the group of thugs orders his subordinate Abel and several other thugs to lead Luke to the roof for reasons unknown. When they arrive, Luke surprises the band with his quickness and slays them with his lightsaber. After the encounter, Luke begins to hear a voice beckoning him to follow deeper into the building. Luke eventually discovers the voices, a race of Force-sensitive people that call themselves the Fairfolk. Unknown to Luke, the Fairfolk are working for Darth Vader to trap potentially dangerous Force-sensitives.

TRANSFORMERS 3-D VINTAGE #1 COMIC BOOK.

FIRST ISSUE of the ORIGINAL TRANSFORMERS 3-D Comic Book that were published by Blackthorne Comics in the eighties!

This book was a small press publication and had an incredibly low print run.

The Transformers were a wildly popular (and collectible) set of action figures based on a premise irresistible to kids: giant robots who can transform themselves into cars, tanks, weapons, and space ships. They’re especially big in Japan, where the giant robot fixation is strongest, and has inspired all sorts of manga and anime adventures.

Blackthorne’s comic book adventures are basically an aid to help kids imagine the possibilities of the Transformers as they battle evil robots on barren, outer space worlds. As a bonus, the comic is presented in 3-D

CALIFORNIA RAISINS 3-D. 2 COMIC BOOKS.

80's vintage! in glorious 3-D!

The California Raisins in a glorious 3-D comic book format. It was only natural that it would become one of the subjects of their ongoing series. The Raisins began life as just another commercial plug to get people to eat more raisins via claymation raisin characters crooning to “I Heard it Through the Grapevine.” The one- joke Raisins then achieved a life of their own, spawning hit record albums and animated TV shows, so this comic book was just another example of capitalizing of their fame

OUT OF PRINT. HARD TO FIND COLLECTOR'S ITEM FOR FANS OF CLASSIC MONSTERS.

Published by Blackthorne Publishing in 1988.

Werewolf is based on the Fox TV series that ran from 1987-88. Although it was short-lived, the series managed to create a small cult following, and the program was one of the network’s first shows. However, the comic book version was virtually unnoticed. The werewolf is Eric Cord. Cord is asked by a friend to kill him, claiming that a werewolf had bitten him. When Cord demands proof, his buddy transforms into the creature and attacks him. Cord grants him his wish, but it is too late: He has inherited the curse. Cord is then wanted for murder with a bounty hunter on his trail.

Ten years have passed since the near-destruction of planet Earth at the hands of the Zentraedi and the subsequent annihilation of the Zentraedi Grand Fleet. On Earth, civilization continues to mend in the wake of this global apocylapse; while aboard the captured Robotech Factory Satellite in orbit, the Super Dimension Fortress Three has been constructed to complete a mission vital to the survival of the Earth. This vessel, manned by the greatest heroes of the Robotech war and a new generation raised in the war's aftermath, is to travel to the homeworld of the Robotech Masters, the moon Tirol, in an attempt to prevent a second Robotech war--a war which the people of Earth fear their world would be unable to survive. However, when the fortress arrives in Tirolspace, Tirol is found to have been conquered by a new foe--the slug-like Invid.

Luke and Han depart Tatooine following their last 3-D adventure.

They head back to the Rebel base on Yavin 4, only to find it encircled by Imperial forces. Han craftily lands the Falcon near one of the Rebel bases on the planet, but it's abandoned. The duo lift off again, hoping that a coded message from Leia will lead them to the fleet's location. It does, but Leia and the other leaders are now desperate to find a new base. Han suggests Hoth, an ice planet far removed from normal space traffic.

Leia approves a plan to scout the planet for possible habitability. Heading out into the snow, the duo take the Rebels' first, tentative steps on Hoth.

Unbeknownst to both, smuggler Salmakk has made Hoth his home. From his base, he plans to capture Han and turn him in for Jabba's still-unclaimed bounty.

How Luke and Han get out of their first tricky situation on Hoth paves the way for the foundation of Echo Base . . .
