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

Man, there's a lot of dead space in the above ad...?

1970

One of the most famous ads DC ever ran...Kirby is Here!

1974

Thanks to all who left a nice comment here yesterday upon my announcement this blog would shut down on Feb. 16th.

But in relation to one of the comments--I don't intend for Coming Super-Attractions! to go away forever. One of my current blogs, I Am The Phantom Stranger, has a relatively firm "end date", and so does another new blog I plan to start next month. By the end of 2009, both blogs will most likely be over, as well.

Once that happens, my schedule frees up a bit and I've had the time to find more ads, I plan for CSA to return, either for a week or two at a time or on a somewhat more long-lasting basis.

So while Feb. 16th is the end for now, it's not the end!

"100 Pages For Only 60 Cents!" - 1974

I had three more of these ads so I figured why not another hat-trick?


Fun Blogger Fact: Trying to list all the titles represented here in the Labels tab exceeded the character limit. Sorry!
