Cover by Joe Kubert. Stories and art by Joe Kubert and Norman Maurer. Numbering continues from One Million Years Ago (1953 St. John) #1. Comics legend Joe Kubert won fans early in his career with his tales of Tor, a caveman struggling for survival in a world where humans co-exist with dinosaurs. Kubert and St. John push the envelope with some of the earliest 3-D comics. Three versions of issue #2 exist; all are called Vol. 1 #2 in the indicia. This version has a 3-D cover, and contents entirely different from #2A and #2B. Bitter over a crippling injury, a member of Tor's tribe takes out his frustration on animals. Tor helps a tribe survive an attack by giants. Danny dreams himself into the past and helps cavemen invent the bow and arrow. Killer-Man; Stop! The Story of Evolution!: Horses, Elephant!; Danny Dreams; Giant-One; The Run Away. Final issue under this title; Tor's adventures continue in Tor (1954 St. John) In the World of 1,000,000 Years Ago #3. 32 pages, B&W with 3-D effects. Cover price $0.25.
