Post Your Marvel Bronze Age In-House Ads!

Still on the horror bent, Morbius proved popular enough for a short stint in Adventure into Fear, and here's the ad telling us to buy the premiere issue.

Speaking of first appearances, the pulse-pounding, nerve-numbing debut of Death in War is Hell #9 must have been very popular, as here's Marvel pumping the next issue, complete with the grim reaper as the headliner.

I'll end of this segment with what I personally feel is the START OF THE BRONZE AGE, and definitely on the Marvel side, the First Appearance of Conan the Barbarian.

 

This ad is a preview of the upcoming "Comic Mag Event of the 70's" and it's pretty obvious Marvel knew this was gonna be the next big thing.

Following that ad up quickly with this one:

Very cool! I also like how the hand holding the sword can be viewed as a "Thumbs Up!"

You know, JC normally I think you can be one of the world's biggest but this thread is really great. I am going to dig up what little Marvel BA I have and see about putting a few of the ads up as well.

[joe_collector]

Here's another really cool one, this time trying to make some cash off the Voodoo craze. Out of the "fear-drenched jungles of zombie-haunted Haiti..." Make Way for Brother Voodoo!!

I can't help but wonder how many copies of that issue sold. Yep, definite need to break out the ole scanner and some BA Marvel. See what pops up.

[joe_collector]

Here is an ad I remember vividly from when I was a kid, and that tentacled-cat-thing really freaked me out for some reason. I also recall trying to find/read that comic but I never did... even to this day...

 

[joe_collector]

This ad is from later in the Bronze Age, and is definitely more artsy and moody than the previous ones. Still very interesting, and it announced the beginning of one of the most popular comic series of the late-BA/early-CA, The Micronauts!

i love how the issue number on this book looks like someone wrote it in pen.

 

 

great thread, j_c

You like that? Check this one out, no number - this was right around the time Shang-Chi got his own mag (taking over Marvel Special Edition) and while the pic is from MSE #16, it notes issue #17 in the text. Strange.

 

[joe_collector]

I really need to get going, so I'll leave the resident horror fans with yet another pretty cool image, this time of the macabre masterwork that is... The Headless Horseman!!!

 

[joe_collector]

For the martial arts fans in the house, this Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu ad must be permanently burned into your memory, as it was heavily featured in Marvel books of the time.

 

[joe_collector]

And here's the ad for Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #2:

 

[joe_collector]

No idea what happened to issue #3, but here's the promo for Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #4:

 

[joe_collector]

And Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #5:

 

[joe_collector]

Ooops, here's Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #3... now we can all sleep at night.

 

[joe_collector]

What Marvel In-House Advertisement thread would be complete without an ode to the most prolific Bronze Age run of all, Claremont and Byrne's New X-men!!!
