Hostess art: the appreciation thread

[JadeGiant]

Anyone else enjoy these? They drip with nostalgia for me personally. Anyone have any of the art?

 

Looking for images of the art, especially Marvel and the Hulk.

 

I started a want thread in the Marketplace and thought I would start a thread here as well to discuss.

Here is the thread advertising what I am trying to acquire:

LOVE the Hostess ads! I've only been fortunate enough to track down one in the wild ... a Josie and the Pussycats Hostess page ... but man, are they fun to look at.

 

I know there are several on CAF, but a bunch more are out there somewhere.

Over the years, I've managed to add two Hostess ad pages to my collection. Both are in my CAF gallery, one featuring Hawkman:

 

 

and one featuring Aquaman:

 

 

And, yeah, they're fun, aren't they?

Great examples - thanks for sharing!

I've owned about a dozen Hostess ads over the years. I'm always looking to buy or trade for more.

 

This one by Curt Swan has always been my favorite.

I too enjoyed seeing some of these blasts from the past! While I never owned one, I do own Byrne's spoof of Hostess featuring my favorite mechanical misfit:
