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!

That Legion book was an all-reprint title, though DC thought it best to leave that off the ad...

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen - 1969

Was there a more insane comic put out in the 60s than Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen?

Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen - 1971

sg
I couldn't find a book advertised as being on sale August 16th exactly, this was the closest I could get!

DC got a lot of mileage out of the "One to startle you..." line...

Another nice "Coming Super-Attractions" ad, sent courtesy Robby Reed of Dial B For Blog. Thanks Robby!

"Baby Lois Lane"?
Comics don't get much better than that.

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

sg
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!
