Ads and back covers

[Senormac]

I came across this ad recently and thought it was pretty cool. I mean what kid wouldn't want a real Air Force pilots cap? As long as the pilot lived that is......

This is from a 1948 issue of Jingle Jangle and I imagine there was lots of army surplus stuff going around then.

 

 

Heres one for the ladies......from a 1964 Betty and Veronica book.

 

 

and heres one that seems to have 20 different variations, from the name of the guy, to what actually happens to him. Joe....Bob....Mac....sand kicking....etc. I'm thinkin Charles Atlas made some coin during his day......

I always loved the ad for the foot locker of army men. Yeah, turned out to be a cheap azz cardboard box and the plastic army men were flat molded.

Anything with Aurora models were my favorites; I'd collect

comics in NM condition just for the ads.

I think Greggy scored a real set of those with the box. He posted a pic of it maybe 6 - 8 months ago....
