Frisco Larson Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Incidentally gang, I DO believe that this is the first house ad for the Fantastic Four. I also recall this being the only house ad I've seen for our beloved PHM books. Does anyone here know either of those statements to be inaccurate? I will search through my raw copies sometime in the future to try to verify that as best I can. frozentundraguy, bc and Jasonmorris1000000 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you for certain that Strange Worlds, World of Fantasy, Amazing Adventures and Amazing Adult Fantasy do NOT have any house ads. However, I did see that Amazing Adult Fantasy 12 institutes a "Letters Page" from fans. That may be another first that bled into the superhero era? -bc Frisco Larson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the fashion themed comics like Millie credited fans with contributions ( i.e., Patsy’s coat designed by Judy Smith of Centerville, WV), but I don’t know if they had actual letter columns. bc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonmorris1000000 Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 This one’s my friend Bob’s favorite Strange Tales cover. I think it’s great too, but I like other issues better.
