Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Periodical Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 1981-1992 Description An account of the resource The table of contents for Amazing Heroes’ 158th issue features a series of articles that are almost entirely devoted to the concept and history of 3-D, particularly in the world of comics. On the left side of the page is a massive black banner denoting the table of contents, simply reading “Contents,” and next to it is a column of the articles in the periodical. At the head of this thin column is a boldfaced “Special 3-D Issue!” denotation sandwiched between two horizontal lines. The first article is “A History of 3-D Comics,” subtitled, “From the boom of the ‘50s to the boom of today,” its author is highlighted as, “Feature article by Valentino,” and its page number, just below and housed in a box of black, is 24. The next is “Ray Zone’s Battle for a Three-Dimensional World,” subtitled, “An interview with the man who re-created 3-D comics,” and “Interview by Valentino,” on page 28. Third is “In 3-D: A Hero History of 3-D Man,” subtitled, “The stereoscopic story of the 1970s greatest ‘50s crimefighter,” and “Hero History by Dale Roberts” on page 51. Fourth is “An Index to 3-D Comics,” subtitled, “Every single gosh-darned one of ‘em!” and “Index by Valentino,” on page 60. Finally, there is the “Special 3-D Section,” subtitled, “Real 3-D pictures,” and “negatives provided by Ray Zone,” but instead of a page number being demonstrated, there is a pair of asterisks where the number would be found. Just below, there is a small but bold-faced explanation: “** various places throughout the magazine. Also represented are two pictures that, together, occupy half of the page’s consumed content. The picture on the top is a single panel of a simplistic comic taken up mainly by text. The image is the backside of a man’s head, decorated with long hair, an elegant moustache, and a strange, European-style hat. The text and surrounding imagery, which contains the Mona Lisa, a color palette, and some unfinished anatomical work, infer the man to be Leonardo da Vinci and the setting to be his studio. A narration box at the top reads, “On Earth, 200 years ago, the scientific artist Leonard da Vinci makes a profound discovery.” A thought bubble extending from da Vinci’s head reads, “Hmmm…with our two eyes we see two scenes at once, and thus perceive three dimensional depth.” This comic panel, taken from a source uncredited in this table, playfully recounts the beginning of representing three dimensions in a two-dimensional medium. Below this square panel is a long, rectangular photograph of a white man with a rounded face, a short mop of light hair, a proud smile, and casual wear for hot weather, standing beside a rotating stand containing a variety of 3-D comics, including “Electric Fear!”, “Krazy Kat,” “Red Mask,” “DNAgents,” and “Three-Dimensional Seduction of the Innocent!” This man is Ray Zone, considered a pioneer of converting 2-D images to 3-D. Many of the comics on display, such as “Krazy Kat,” were converted into 3-D well after their initial release to great success, a success that it expounded upon in most of this issue’s articles.
