Christmas countdown: Revisiting 1966 and the James Bond "Thunderball" movie in 2024

Nearly a half-century on I still consider 1973 to be the year that cemented my destiny in becoming a lifetime comic book fan. It was a yea...
You are in my sweet spot now amigo. I love these vintage ads. Often I didn't or couldn't get my mitts on the actual comics but I lusted after them from afar from the hints in these kinds of ads. In later years I made a point to gather up the more memorable books and add them to my collection.
ReplyDeleteThey are good aren't they the good th i g was that most companies did these and they were all good. I'll publish a few others in part three from Mighty Comics that are so if their time it's funny. One of the things I wish comic collections would do is add the House ads - better still a book of these would be good.
ReplyDeleteThis post wasn't showing in my list a few hours ago, so I wonder if you need to go into settings and change the time settings. I'm betting that you didn't reply to RJ's comment at 3.21 in the morning.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see these ads again, takes me right back. Looking forward to part two.
See? I left the above comment at 22.11, not 2.11 like it says. Fix the time, McS.
DeleteStrange couldn't find an entry for London on my settings but added Dublin so should be ok now. Thanks for info.
DeleteHopefully sorted now Kid, thanks.
DeleteGreat selection of house ads, McScotty. DC really knew how to create some excellent ads for other comics. As Rip says above, they really created a yearning to get those comics. I'm looking forward to your next selection.
ReplyDeleteThanks baggsey - I always loved seeing these ads in the comics and the memory of some of them has lasted longer than the memory of the comic i first saw them in. I'm just looking out a few of the Marvel ads I have (and some others companies ads). I'll be commenting on your recent excellent post later today I had to delete my last comment ( long story).
ReplyDeleteMcS, I managed to buy Red Sonja #15 on ebay, so that'll save you a trip up into the loft.
DeleteThanks for letting me know Kid.
