ADVERSE ADS
This page shows the currently featured bizarre advert, and includes yellow underlined text hyperlinks to every ad ever posted on this site below it.
Sometimes just as memorable as the comics themselves, are the advertisements within. From the incalculable uses of Hostess snack cakes in crimefighting, to bizarre T-Shirts and snug tidy whities, you could find it in the comics.
AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSORS
From Daredevil #29 comes one of the coolest ads I've ever come across. Seriously, look at that thing, it's creepier than anything else going on in the book it's in - and yet also quite charming. Sort of like My Pet Monster. If I had $1.25 back then I'd have bought it - probably being seriously disappointed by whatever I got in the mail. The quotation marks around the word "talk" isn't a good sign. It could just turn out to be a farting whoopee cushion with a monster picture on it, but I do wonder what the "special design instrument" is - that sounds ominous.
