Lois Lane - 1967

I tried to find an ad for a book with an On Sale date of June 30th; I got pretty close!

As a kid, I was never into Kurt Schaffenberger's work too much, now of course I realize its totally awesome. The guy was a friggin' genius.

Nathaniel Dusk II - 1985

Secret Origins - 1986

I always liked the Secret Origins book. It got a little bogged down sometimes in retrofitting old stories to fit current continuity, but it could be a lot of fun and it really came into its own when some new editor named Mark Waid took over.

Pulp Heroes Week, Part 5 - 1973

An absolutely superb ad, the exact approach to take for something as unusual as The Shadow. I love that its in black and white.

Come to think of it, when they made The Shadow movie in 1995, this scene should've been the trailer. Period.

This ad was sent to me by my pal Craig Wichman, who I believe stands alone as the only person to have sent something to me for every single one of my blogs. Thanks Craig!

Pulp Heroes Week, Part 4 - 1987

I didn't read DC's Doc Savage comic too much, but this is a nifty ad.

Pulp Heroes Week, Part 3 - 1973

Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of mid-1970s newsvendors?

Pulp Heroes Week, Part 2 - 1975

I was confused by this book as a kid--is the book called The Avenger, or Justice Inc.? And why is he all-white? Questions, questions...
