Blackthorne Publishing, Inc. was a
comic book publisher that flourished from
1986-
1989. They were notable for the
Blackthorne 3-D Series, their reprint titles of classic
comic strips like
Dick Tracy, and their licensed products. Blackthorne achieved its greatest sales and financial success with their licensed
3-D comics adaptations of the
California Raisins, but the financial loss suffered by the failure of their 3-D adaptation of the Michael Jackson film
Moonwalker was a major contributor to the publisher's downfall.
