Bat Lash - 1968

"...Can he save the west? Or ruin it!" doesn't make a lot of sense to me, grammatically. But what do I know? I went to art school.

In any case, a nice ad.

Thunderbolt - 1992

I think Pete Cannon, Thunderbolt, holds the distinction of being the only comics character that was bought by DC but now is no longer owned by DC, unlike his fellow Charlton alumni.

...on second thought, strike that. I think DC doesn't own the old Fawcett characters Bulletman and Bulletgirl, either. In any case, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this ad--that DC couldn't revive this, even if they wanted to!

Blue Beetle - 1986

DC Salutes The Bicentennial - 1976

How could I not run this ad today? One of the craziest offers DC ever made. For only the cost of twenty-five mangled comics, you can win...a belt buckle.

Happy July 4th everybody!

"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!

Mystery in Space / The Atom - 1964

Batman - 1965
