House Ads #40

Man, how many Super teenagers were running around in the 50's? If you didn't have a super kid in your neighborhood you were a LOSER!!!!

House Ad #39

Man, I'm drooling just remembering this book. The greatest thing about it was that each person spoke in their won font and each character had their own inker. The book had one crazy look to it, but it was fantastic!

House Ad #38

So who remembers Star Hunters? I don't but it looks like it could have been fun.

House Ads #37

Wow! 3 ads for the price of one!! I actually owned the Freedom Fighters and the Return of the New Gods.

House Ads #36

 

Batman front and center on a JLA cover? Must be the 1960's!! (or 2010's)

House Ads #35

 

CRUNCH!! YIP!!! BLAM!!!! What else can you want from an 80 page giant?

House Ads #34

At times I think that the writers were actually smoking half of the elements that appeared in this book.

House Ads #33

I would have loved this book. Looks like art by Sekowsky and appears to be in the same goofy vein as the Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope books.

House Ads #32

I still love these House ads because they would throw two completely different books together in one ad. If they did this today, what two books could you see in an ad like this?

House Ads #31

Superman is the best thing about comics in 1950. He's in 3 GREAT MAGAZINES!!! All thanks to 4 doctors on the DC editorial advisory board.

House Ads #30 'Mazing Man

This was one of my favorite books. It showed up at a time when comics were way too serious (unlike now, SNORT!) and I loved everything about it, even the crazy backup feature Zoot Sputnik.

House Ads #29 Infinity Inc.

I read this book for some time and I have to admit, I miss Roy Thomas. This guy made a career out of historical/comic book research.

House Ads #28 "Spectre!"

Wow, Jim Corrigan sure has a tough time of it but he isn't above threatening readers in order to sell some books.

House Ads #27 Jerry Lewis & Tomahawk

These are two books that I love (not these issues, but the titles). Jerry Lewis drawn by Bob Oskner was beautiful and hilarious. Tomahawk was the original Weird Western even though it was actually an Eastern (taking place during the Revolutionary War). Can't wait until these are republished in Showcase Presents.

House Ads #26 Bomba

Of course we couldn't be selling a Tarzan statue yesterday and not try to pitch a Bomba comic today? Of course not, we need to keep a theme running here. And that theme is loincloths!!!!!

House Ads #24 World's Finest

I noticed that they used Perry White & Alfred as opposed to Lois Lane & Alfred. Why? Perhaps would think "Lois Lane is Superman's romantic partner...is Alfred Batman's...????"

House Ads #24 Spectaculars

A nice Halloween themed ad for two of the 100 page spectaculars!!

House Ads #23 House of Mystery

I always loved the cover of this book. It reminded me so much of the Ray Bradbury story "The Black Ferris" (which eventually became the novel "Something Wicked This Way Comes")

House Ads #22 Challengers of the Unknown

"Villo"?!?! VILLO?!??! Man, there must have been a dearth of sugar and caffeine in the offices of DC THAT month!

House Ads #21

I always enjoyed the giant villains looming over the city, it was even cooler than the Go-Go checks across the top of the book.
