1959

All these of these genuine "Coming Super-Attractions" ads were sent to me by Robby Reed of Dial "B" For Blog. Thanks Robby!


And now its time to call it a day at Coming Super-Attractions! I deeply appreciate everyone who stopped by here and checked out what I was doing, and those who left comments.

While this blog was always the least popular of all my comic blogging efforts, there was a core audience who stopped by every day, and it was for that audience--you--that I kept it going for as long as I did.

If/when CSA returns, I think I'll be adding some of the other bizarre and/or fun material you'd find in between the story pages, like Cap's Hobby Hints, Reader Surveys, Public Service Annoucements, and the like. And since most of my current blogs are "limited run" blogs, I do think I'll be returning to CSA at some point down the line.

Until then, if you don't already, you should check out Allan Harvey's blog Gorilla Daze--he regularly posts DC house ads, many even more obscure than the ones I got to.

Thanks everyone, and keep watching the newsstands!

Judging by how many ads they ran for it, DC had high hopes for the Plastic Man/Starman combo in Adventure Comics....which lasted less than a year.

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!

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

Seven Soldiers of Victory - 1974

sg
I'm cheating a little here--this isn't a real "ad", more of a blurb at the end of an issue of Adventure Comics. Its just that I really love The Seven Soldiers of Victory.

"Dangers and Thrills!" - 1969

Two of my favorite titles in one ad! Ginchy!

Adventure Comics - 1978

sg
A nifty ad, courtesy Jim Aparo, who we didn't see draw Wonder Woman, the Flash, or Green Lantern much--a nice bonus.

Though Deadman's yellow glove bugs the heck out of me.
