Star Wars 3-D “Havoc on Hoth” Ad

Blackthorne Publishing’s big comic book gimmick in the eighties, as we have seen in a handful of advertisements from 1987, was the production of 3-D comics . . . complete with the red/blue 3-D glasses of the past! Each one of these comics I have encountered were bad, but it is the Star Wars comic shown in this 1987 advertisement that I remember best from three decades ago. The West End Games Star Wars roleplaying game was renewing my interest in Star Wars, so when I saw this comic at the store, I almost bought a copy. The artwork stopped me from spending any money on the book.
