SWEET!!!

[Dr. Love]

A Better Publications magazine, Everyday Astrology from 1940, runs a house ad promoting some of their "new" comics, as well as a sister annual title, Your Prophecy.

VERY cool

[EC ed]

Here are some ECs (certainly not the coolest ones, but ones I already had images of for some reason or another):

 

Inside front cover of Mad #2 - ad for Weird Fantasy #16:

 

 

Back cover of Picture Stories from American History #4 (slab had some issues...I've since finished the job of cracking this one out :

House ad for Jackpot #4

 

 

That page wins longest indicia known to Comicdom; can't read it but wonder what is all about!

Nice idea! Mine came with the photostats.

Make your Dime happy, buy fiction house...

 

 

 

Or Wings...

 

 

Or "Learn to stretch a dime, Don't waste your time sawing a lady in half or swallowing swords"

So classic, you just can't beat 40's marketing.

Here's a sweet ad for Mad #1 on the interior FC of Vault of Horror #27 (Nov. '52):

 

"WE AT E.C. PROUDLY PRESENT OUR LATEST BABY...A 'COMIC' COMIC BOOK! THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE ZANIEST 10c WORTH OF IDIOTIC NONSENSE YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO BUY! GET A COPY OF MAD...ON SALE NOW! WE THINK YOU'LL ENJOY IT!"

This might entice you to spend another dime; an ad for All Star #2 from Adventure 57. DC house ads were always the best for me; almost more fun than the actual books!

[Larryw7]

From Detective 40(sorry about the lousy pics).

 

[Larryw7]

And from the inside back cover of Batman 37. I wonder if other DC books from the same month had the same ad in it?

 

[ciorac]

From Detective 40(sorry about the lousy pics).

 

 

[Larryw7]

I knew you'd appreciate that one, Bill.

[timecrisisfan-migration]

Beat me too it! Nice 'Tec 40!

[Larryw7]

Beat me too it! Nice 'Tec 40!

 

Tec 39 has an actual date, which makes it even cooler.

[adamstrange]

Those are fantastic!
