1970

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!

The Beginning of the End

It's been one year and one month since I started Coming Super Attractions!, so this seems like as good a time as any to announce that CSA will be wrapping up one month from now, on February 16th.

I never had any real idea how long I planned to keep CSA going when I started it. Within a few months of its creation, I had had scanned in enough DC house ads to keep it going at least two full years.

With The Aquaman Shrine, I Am The Phantom Stranger, and Rob Kelly Illustration taking up a lot so much of my time, I never felt like I could give CSA my full attention. And since I have another blogging venture planned to start fairly soon, I felt like one had to go.

So for the next month, I'll be taking a sort of "Everything Must Go!" approach, and posting multiple ads every day, to show off everything I have still in my "To Post" folder. As a wise man used to say, be here, it'll be fun!

"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!

"The Line of DC Super-Stars!" - 1974

3 Blockbusters - 1969

I can't believe I didn't think to run this yesterday, which was Veteran's Day. Stupid!

Anyway, better late than never, he's a solid ad highlighting DC's fightin' men...

Our Army At War - 1966

This ad's text seems a bit in conflict with the gruesome image, don't you think?

"For Belly Laughs..." - 1970

Sgt. Rock - 1967

That's a lot of text in a small space, yet still a perfectly balanced ad.
