Yannis, if you read the advertisement is says that it's the first issue of Detective Comics.

 

 

 

There's a new concept. Reading comics.

No not the Detective, I am asking if the Detective ad is in the More Fun or New Adventure- Hey stop poking my ear......

He asks in what comics the 'Tec is advertized, not which comics was advertized.There's a new concept. Reading others' posts.

But that's my point. If you read the ad, it says "WE FEEL sure that you've enjoyed every page of this first issue of DETECTIVE COMICS" and then the indicia is on the bottom half of the inside back cover. This is obviously the inside back cover of Bill's former Detective #1. Am I missing something here?

Wait till I get really angry. I'm going to read my Marvel Mystery run cover to cover and not show anybody the interiors.

Adventure 70 even had an ad for Prize Comics ... -

 

 

Scrooge, you did a very neat job on the connect-the-dots puzzle. Were you also able to solve the code?

Now that is cool! Where do I reserve my copy?

[Yannis]

Oh man then that means I need glasses, you can poke my ear again!

[Socratic Wonder]

 

Is there any doubt here?

What book was this from?

You already have mine!

Books like Adventure 56 have a cornucopia of ads. Here they are:

 

Very interesting how they spaced publication out during the course of the month. Is that still done?

You guys might like to know that the DC Archives message board on the Marvel Masterworks fansite has a couple of stickied threads devoted to DC house ads.

 

Here's a link to the thread, and here's a link to another thread at the site where the ads shown in the first thread are indexed, in case you're looking for a particular ad and don't want to wade through 25 pages of graphics-heavy posts.

Thanks Gary (thumbs u

That's a cool thread, I love those old JLA ads.

 

Thanks for sharing.

I was just talking to Alton about this earlier this week. I love adds, in house or otherwise.

 

This add in Action #17 is for the NY Worlds Fair Comic and says if you were one of the unlucky ones to pay 25 cents instead of 15 cents you will receive a junky Superman #1

 

Poor people had to pay 10 cents extra and get nothing of value!

 

 

 

Same issue also has a full page add for Supes #2 which is not too shabby.

 

 

 

I like how the repro in the ad has Superman's hair colored in blue, unlike the cover on the actual comic, which is the only appearance of a blonde Superman.

I always thought that was interesting how he was inked blonde on the cover of that issue. I wonder the story behind that?
