LA Premier! Captured
Aural Phantasy Theater, the only group authorized by the legendary 50’s
publisher EC to perform their comics, will present their new show WEIRD SCI-FI 3D, a performance of the
lost 1954 EC 3D sci-fi comic for the first time ever in Los Angeles –2 Nights
Only, Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26! We debuted the newly discovered
comic at San Diego Comic-con
International last summer and now bring it to our hometown audiences in
conjunction with WonderCon in
downtown LA.
Working with members of the EC family and Los Angeles’
3-D SPACE, the lost sci-fi comic, in the vein of titles like “Weird Science,” was
converted into three dimensions for this premier, in the format as intended
over 60 years ago, but never completed. As part of the show, Captured Aural
Phantasy Theater will be dramatically reading stories from the unpublished
comic, while the images are shown to the audience in 3D. But don’t worry! Special
3D glasses will be provided to enjoy the projected artwork! The stories will be
filled out with live music, sound effects and original bits rounding out an
evening of Captured Aural Phantasy Theater’s unique storytelling style.
In 1953 and 54, EC planned three 3D comics, but only two
were published. The third, focused on sci-fi and fantasy stories, was dropped
amid the fizzling of the fad and the comic industry’s run-ins with the Senate
and censors. Captured Aural Phantasy Theater has partnered with EC to premier
the unpublished 3D issue at this event. The comic will be performed LIVE at the
historic Bob Baker Marionette Theater and
part of the shows’ procedes will go to help the theater.
