Popular Post Hepcat Posted April 16 Popular Post Share Posted April 16 (edited) I'm a great fan of the house ads comic publishers once ran to promote other issues from their own comic line. In particular the ones that letterer and logo designer Ira Schnapp did for DC between 1940 and 1967 were works of art and very often left me with a palpable desire to acquire and read that particular comic. So show off your favourite house ads by any publisher here with your present day copy of that same comic if possible! I'll start. I still remember the day in 1964 that I first saw this ad in an old Blackhawk comic in the waiting room of the Ontario Conservatory of Music on Dundas Street in London prior to my weekly accordion lesson: It left me longing for a copy of Justice League 3 but at the time I thought that particular issue was gone forever in the mists of time. I've had that issue now since 1980-81 but I'd still like a better copy!

Hibou Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Sorry about this not being a comic but it was Street & Smith's cross marketing for their Shadow Detective Monthly Magazine that was found in their February 13th, 1932 issue of Love Story Magazine. The image is that of James LaCurto who was the first to voice the narration of The Shadow on the Detective Story Hour radio show in 1930. (Sadly, not my copy...)

Popular Post Hepcat Posted April 17 Author Popular Post Share Posted April 17 (edited) My earliest memory of being captivated by any house ad was in late May of 1961 when I saw these ads in Adventures of the Fly 13 heralding the introduction of Fly Girl and Jaguar respectively: The Adventures of the Jaguar 1 hit newsstands a few weeks later: Northland copy I was spellbound by this dashing new hero! The issue also included this tantalizing ad for the mysterious Fly Girl: Fly Girl made her first appearance a few weeks thereafter in Adventures of the Fly 14: Bethlehem copy Edited April 17 by Hepcat Ken Aldred, Larryw7, grendelbo and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
