Brave and The Bold: Strange Sports - 1963

Ok, so it's not "horror" or "weird"...but it is "strange"!

DC TV - 1976

sg
Super Friends, Shazam!, Isis, and...Welcome Back, Kotter? This is like one of those "Which one does not belong?" SAT questions.

It occurred to me, since its only two weeks away from Halloween, I should be posting as many DC horror ads as I can find--so here you go!

Superboy - 1961

DC says: "How much does an issue of Superboy cost? Even we don't know!"

The World's Greatest Super-Heroes - 1974

sg
A very awkward ad--it looks like Clark, Barry, Dinah, and Bruce are all wearing those sandwich board things to me.

Plus, Bats looks really pissed.

Because one Heckler ad isn't enough...

Fox and the Crow - 1965

sg
The Fox and the Crow probably didn't realize that Stanley and His Monster, introduced this issue, would eventually push them out of of their own book. Ouch!

Wasteland - 1987

sg
I really liked Wasteland when it came out, which was just before the Vertigo line. I think it was just a little too ahead of its time.
