Got a classic comic book ads you like (or hate) or just want to talk about? Lets start a thread to talk about them or show them off. I'll start. Got to start with one of these- Got to have those! Don't forget the new Saturday morning cartoons!
I have a modern one: that infamous 2 page Twix ad for DC Comics. Really jarring. I love Twix but...eh.
Gotta see if i can find some. I remember seeing some good ones back then. I dislike DCs first page ad showing another title cover. At first i was like huh did i open the wrong comic. Still kinda gets me.
Weird to see both DC & Marvel being advertised on the same ad. LOL at Batman. I know it is a toothbrush but just glancing at it looks like a hangman's noose around his neck. Hanging time Batsy!
It cost how much now for 12 issues today? Gobot model kits? What is up with turbos face? Can meatloaf save the day? Want a star wars force beam? (the princess has a lightsaber long before return of the jedi! Spoiler!)

I've been seeing this Lee Leens ad while reading the old Captain Marvel series. I find it delightful.
