It turns out that Jack Kirby invented HD:
The world's first wide screen comic (oh, sorry...wide scream) courtesy of Blue Ribbon Comics #1 (1983), reprinting Adventures of the Fly #1 (1959), by Simon and Kirby. Sadly, that 2-page splash panel was the only thing "wide screen" or remotely special in the 7 page story. Except, of course, for the oddly costumed Spider Spry, aka The Spider!!
Welcome to the DC Universe, Spider...stay obscure enough, and someday Grant Morrison may base a maxi-series on you...
