With Some Comics, The Ads Are Better Than The Stories...





So GAY!...
(P.S. Some of my best friends are gay, so don't start anything, this joke has been cleared...)

Superman #177 - Weirder Than The Thing! Mightier Than Godzilla! "The Menace Called 'IT'!"


While I was scanning this story from Superman #177 I thought of what I wanted to say and there was so much I wanted to say I was afraid of spilling my guts 'til I was as empty and void of content as an area of deep space occupied only by a black hole. I doubled over in grief and despair and begged this feeling to go away while I fought back the tears. I wondered if I could even finish the post. Somehow I did. I wish I could tell you what's really on my mind, but I just can't, except in secret code. Oh, Superman #177? FAIL!...

Bob Hope #98 - "The Cool Hot Rodder" Pt. 2 (The Boys From Splitsville), The Super Stocks - Surf Route 101


As hip as DC tried to get in the 60s, I think the Super-Hip comics(Bob who?)was the closest they ever got to genuine out there comedic stylings, thanx to the talents involved(Bob Oskner is Boss!)...







Rowrrr!...
The 2nd of three Super Stocks lps I'm posting, this one ain't as great as the one I posted last night but the 3rd will be back up to speed(ahem), nevertheless I recommend them all...

Monster World #5 - Bride Of The Monster, Captain Company Ads


Nothing cheers me up quite like a good ol' monster magazine...

Cree-py! And would you believe, a ten-page synopsis of Bride Of The Monster?...











These ads called out to as children in a way that said(if we had only known how to interpret it), "Find some way to afford us now, because the desire to have us will never go away and you will end up paying through the blowhole for us when you're alllll grown-up!..."



Is that Fritz Leiber?...



I wonder if you could combine the Mad, Mad, Mad Scientist Laboratory with the Venus Fly Traps and grow giant ones? There's a lot of people in this neighborhood who walk up and down the street screaming at no one who might just accidently...
Now wasn't that the most?...
