Post Your Marvel Bronze Age In-House Ads!

To end off this Trip down Treasury Lane, here's a monster promo covering off quite a few of the best of the MTE line, including that "Savage Fists of Kung-Fu" one that was hard to track down.

 

 

The "Savage Fists of Kung Fu" Treasury is interesting in that it reprinted the Sons of the Tiger stories from Deadly Hands of Kung Fu that were originally black and white, so the stories were colored for the Treasury. Today's random Bronze fact.

Didn't see this one posted yet -- similar to the DD/Red Skull ad, but this is for Astonishing Tales #1 (Published in Amazing Adventures #1).

Here's an in-house ad for Marvel StickOns. Not a comic, but cool stuff anyway. Looks like a bunch of classic images.

Here's another Double Dynamite, from Sept 1972 issue of Marvel Premiere #4 featuring Dr. Strange:

One more, from Giant-Size Spider-Man #1, the ad for issue #2:

My pick for the dumbest in-house ad for a Marvel comic:

Remember in the late-70's, when Marvel superheroes Spider-man and The Hulk made their live TV debuts? Well Marvel wasn't too shy about promoting them in their comics, and these ads were in constant rotation:

Here is the rare "yellow variant":

Around the same time, Marvel started pimping their new Fantastic Four animated show, which because the powers that be assumed each and every kid in America would light themselves on fire, replaced the Human Torch with Herbie the Retarded Robot.

Man, this show sucked!!

This ad must be a bit after my time, or else I didn't get ABC on cable, but I don't remember seeing any Spider-woman show:

Nor I... I don't recall the Thing either?

 

 

Cool thread BTW. I like the one promoting Hulk 1...8... oh, nevermind

Around 1977-78 or so, Marvel brought back the in-house Letter Page ad, not hyping any book in particular, just a generic series or character.

 

Here's a great example - a very bland Daredevil advertisement that tells us exactly nothing about the book, the stories, or the creators.

This is a cool one for The Defenders, although Hellcat doesn't rate a mention:

 

[joe_collector]

Exactly how many times did the ad-meisters use "Because You Demanded It!" in their promos?

 

[joe_collector]

Here's a series I actually liked, up until Al Milgrom took over the art duties:

 

[joe_collector]

The Most Supernatural Super-Hero of All!

 

[joe_collector]

This was another series I bought religiously as a kid, and just loved while John and Sal Buscema were doing the pencils. Then Carmine Infantino took over with some truly horrific artwork, and I dropped the book cold.

As an added bonus, here's the original Bullpen Bulletins promo for Nova - no name, no logo, just the character image:
