I'm looking for a vintage 70s 3D Werewolf poster (Dynamite Magazine?)

Wow, thanks so much, witttiger93! Now there is at least an image of Neal Adams' 3D vampire poster online for all of us to see. We can continue to hope someone will post a high resolution scan, but you're image is a big step up from nothing!

Since I already re-opened the topic, I thought I'd share a recent exercise for anyone interested. I took the copy of Neal Adams's original black and white line drawing posted earlier in the thread and brought it into Photoshop to attempt a reproduction of the red-cyan 3D printing.

I was working from very poor reference, so the accuracy is maybe 85-90% of an original print, but I tested it with a pair of red-cyan 3D glasses and there's definitely some degree of a successful 3D effect.

Interestingly, it wasn't as simple as a straightforward offset of the line work in two colors. Looking at an image of an original issue, you can see where only certain parts of the image (background, head, claws, lower torso, back leg) had the red-cyan offset applied to them and even then it appears there was stretching and enlargement in some areas. All accomplished easily enough in PS, but I can only imagine the actual photographic overlaying process back in the day that produced these.

Anyway, grab your red-cyan 3D specs and enjoy (unless you have an original poster, in which case I envy you!  ;) )

I seem to have confirmed that the Werewolf poster was included with issue #46 with Kate Jackson on the cover, but it's near impossible to find a copy that still has the poster inside. It was reprinted in the poster book mentioned above with 5 other Neal Adams 3-D posters. We'll find it!

Thanks for the help everyone. Memories like this really make life today more fun. Long live Dynamite!

As of today. I just purchased a complete copy. 2/18/2023. Took me twenty plus years to actually locate a complete copy of the magazine. Including the poster and 3D glasses

I still have my Dracula, but have never seen one of these in person. Congratulations on finding one.

Thank you. Book and poster arrived a few days ago.

I will definitely be looking for the other ones, thanks to this thread.

Was Dynamite Magazine a publication specially marketed and distributed through schools in the States?

Collecting! It's what I do!

There is an article on Wikipedia about it, but they did have limited distribution through newsstands but mostly through schools.
