"Out of the Screen" 7 page complete story; Ken Landau pencils and inks; image size 12" x 18"
April/May 19543-D movies were a pop-culture sensation that swept through movie theaters in the 1950s as audiences of the era were thrilled when images popped right off the screen thanks to a simple visual trick involving spectacles with colored lenses. It would have been an easy leap for comic writers to imagine the results of these images coming to life once they appeared on screen, and the storyline of this engaging sci-fi/horror story takes that concept to the limit. Illustrated by the journeyman Ken Landau, who worked for B-level publishers in the Gold and Silver Ages between animation gigs, this tale is truly a wild ride. Complete stories from this period are hard to come by, as pages have been sold piecemeal, or have survived in individual lots, but here is an intact, and highly entertaining, seven-page shocker that is sure to draw the attention of horror fans young and old.
