Three Dimensional Alien Worlds #1: Remembering Ray Zone's Birthday

 Today would be the 75th birthday of 3-D technician Ray Zone (born May 16, 1947), the man behind the resurgence of 3-D comics in the 1980s. Presenting some panels from the one-shot anthology special Three Dimensional Alien Worlds, all with 3-D effects by Ray Zone. (Sorry for any eyestrain...it looks like the scanning process makes these panels a LITTLE bit clearer to the naked eye, but makes it so that the 3-D glasses don't really work on these scans the way they do on the actual comic.)

Next, "Gifts"; story by Bruce Jones, art by Bill Wray.
