BB-Gun Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I thought I would post this Ad for the mysterious issue 5 of Flash Gordon. The original art looks better than the crude cover that appeared in the ad. bb Cool, thanks for posting this! Crude or not, I'd love to see the original too. BB, do you have a scan of a real copy? I've never even seen a pic of one. Here is the original ad. I have never seen a real copy of Flash Gordon 5 either. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I found another ad for comics while searching through some Goldage.UK scans. Does anyone know where this came from? bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selegue Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just meant that I didn't want to duplicate if you're going to send it. I don't think there's any firm deadline once a story's over 60 years old. Jack How silly of me WOW! A correspondent asks whether that's from the GoldenAgeUK site. Sounds like a site I should investigate (although I vaguely remember joining). Any chance of the Rest of the Story or a link? Thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrooge Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Can't recall where I got the file from but quite possibly from GoldenAgeUK as we call it. The story spans the entire comic book so I'll post 2 more pages tonight ... and they are doozies too!! Imagine a biblical rain of cats and dogs (I kid you not) and an unusual appearance by Hitler himself in the middle of this craziness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEyeSees Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I found another ad for comics while searching through some Goldage.UK scans. Does anyone know where this came from? bb Hi BB, Oddly enough, I have this ad in two comics: one is SILVER STREAK #9 (no big surprise there), and the other is AMAZING MAN #22 ( totally different publisher!) can anyone explain this? Its a very cool little house ad! Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can try b/c I read it said by Joe Simon. It's highly possible (I would have to check) that both companies would have the same distributor. The distributor would win cross-advertising because 1) they need to up volume for profits and 2) it was not uncommon for the distributors to be major partners in the publishing houses, that is, distributors were in essence vertically integrating to make sure that they had a pipeline of products to put on the stands. The same scenario applied to the appearance of some ads for Prize books in late '40's DC books. Scrooge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Actually, I think it has to do with both books being put together by Lloyd Jacquets "shop", Funnies, Inc. Silver Streak 1 has an ad for Marvel Mystery #2 as well. The output of Centaur, Timely and the early incarnation of Lev Gleason (pre-Biro and Wood) were all provided by Jacquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, Richie, but from a "Follow the Money $$$" angle, why would Funnies, Inc. place cross-ads like this? What was their incentive? The publisher would have rather wanted to sell an actual ad than include a page advertising another line's product. If the publisher really was there only to provide capital and had no editorial control, the question folds back to: why would Funnies do that? Cut down on work (stick an ad recycling artwork instead of a new page)? or Promoting sales of its portfolio of products? ... the latter being the most plausable alternative all the more so since once the production left the shops and went in-house / freelance, those types of ads disappeared.

Scrooge Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 How more obvious could this get? Look at the panel below and figure out how much pandering the artist was doing ... Tough question huh since for no reason at all the girl's head is simply absent from the panel but, the rest ... well, it's prominently figured (pun intended). Cool stuff. Anyone has Wertham's email address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ad was from the Amazing Man 22 issue. I was suprised to see it and I am glad that people took the time to explain why it was there. I still like Bob Wood's work on Silver Streak. I also found an ad for the Comet at the end of the book. The scan is from fiche unfortunately and someone else might have shown this before. I mentioned in a previous post that Centaur and the Comet pulp were related but I didn't have the advertisement available. (Maybe the relationship is less secure since they also advertise Silver Streak but I will ignore that.) And some nice panels from Reef Kinkaid. Lubbers art looks good. He did a lot of work for Fiction House but I don't know what else he worked on. bb Edited April 3, 2008 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just obtained that issue, but your scans make that story look better than I realized it was! and BZ: very cool pulp ad for AMAN comics... any issues of COMET that actually have covers for comics in the ads?
