Amazing offers!

Ah, there's nothing better than those yellowing, musty old comic book advertisments.

The back pages of old comic books easily put any bazaar of wonders to shame.

Included below are just a sampling of the many great ads to be found at :

Steveconley.com's - Super Marketing section


Tomheroes.com - comic ads, video game ads, hostess cupcake ads and more


X-Entertainment - indepth review of personal experience with mail order bliss

Wow. Look at that kid's eyes. You can tell he's not happy as he pulls the
dead baby raccoon out of the box.

This is crazy. Miniature dogs AND miniature monkeys through the mail ?!

As cute as that dog is, I'd think that the offer of the free monkey would headline
this ad, but no. It's dog, polaroid camera, tiny radio, THEN monkey.

The monkey, sad at this placement, actually tries to sell himself!

Poor little monkey. I wish I could order you now and give you a home at no cost, but no doubt I would get nothing but a tea cup full of dry old monkey bones.

Hmmm... I only count 6 monsters in this picture.

Waitaminute...that lady in the corner is attacking that man! She is the 7th,
and most terrifying plant monster!

Note the other plant monsters watching her intently, learning from the master.

DAMN. Damn damn damn.

Why didn't I order this and learn to utilize and draw on the enormous
physio-mental powers which now lie dormant in my own body ?

For $5 you could get the Ninja's incredible Stars of Death, deadly
Retrievable Stone, AND learn how to be invulnerable IN YOUR SLEEP.

The illustration is a great selling tool - The attacker with the knife,
obviously thinking about how deadly ninjas are, misses the
business man and collides with his partner. Then EXPLODES.

That, my friend, is the awesome fear inspiring power of the ninja at work.
