One thing i enjoy perusing during my Comic Archeology digs is the old advertising. We've taken a peek or two, and we'll certainly go diving into old adverts in the future.
Today, let's look at a narrow group - some comic book back covers from 50 51 years ago in 1967 -
Hmm...
Perhaps those are not quite how my fellow geezers remember them? Let me offer a bit of aid in remembery with the front covers to those same comic books -
Surely that helps, right?
If not, then join us later today when take a look inside - and outside - of these little '60s oddities.

indicia to follow (1967)
My memory could be playing tricks (it does that a lot these days), but I think some of the Marvel ones were reprinted in an issue of F.O.O.M. back in the '70s.
ReplyDeleteWell spotted! A quick flip reveals not only did they reprint one of these in each of the first 3 issues, but i also already ran the two that did not appear here! The Amusing Spider-Man appeared in FOOM #3. The first two issues featured Fantastic Fear and The Hunk. Both ran in Sunday Morning Funnies during the King Kirby 100. The FOOM reprints didn't mention the source or show the covers. But they did tell us who the creators were - Roy Thomas, Len Brown, Gil Kane, and Wally Wood.
ReplyDeleteMighty fine line-up.
