1961

DC has reinvented Adventure Comics, House of Mystery, and House of Secrets...where's My Greatest Adventure?!?

1970

"New From DC" - 1975

That top ad was certainly promoting some...off-brand titles, wasn't it?

Action Comics/World's Finest - 1971

Coming...Super-Attractions! - 1962

"Hey, that'd be a great name for a blog!"--me, a year ago today

Since today this is Coming Super Attractions! 1st anniversary, I thought we'd post a couple of ads from the different decades--1950, 1970, and 1980:

Starting tomorrow, as a way to kick off our 2nd year, we'll be posting two ads per day--as DC might say, For Double The Excitement!

For Thrills! For Action! - 1950

Courtesy Robby Reed, a classic ad featuring two titles I wish DC still published...

Action Comics - 1969

"What's Your Thing?" - 1969

Action Comics - 1972

With all due respect to Curt Swan, Nick Cardy, Murphy Anderson, et al, I don't think you could really call the pictures inside an issue of Action Comics "daring."

"Coming...Super-Attractions!" - 1961

Robby Reed of Dial "B" For Blog pointed out that I have yet to actually run any ads emblazoned with the phrase "Coming...Super-Attractions!", and it was high time I did.

So Robby sent this nifty ad along, plus one more, which we'll see soon. Thanks Robby!
