There is an add on the last page of Daredevil #190 from January 1983. It reads "Darkseid...Dark Phoenix..Apokolips now..." and says it is coming the summer of that year. Initially, I had thought it was an add for the Uncanny X-Men crossover with the Teen Titans, as this book featured Phoenix. However, that came out in 1982 from what I have researched. This comic is proposing this work would come out the summer of 1983 but I don't think it ever happened....I will try to show a pic of the ad when I have time to take one. I remember that ad and it's definitely for the X-Men/Teen Titans book by Claremont & Simonson. They were only a few months apart so maybe it just ran late. That doesn't work timeline wise though...the DD book came out in 1983. All accounts I can find have the X-Men crossover coming out summer of 1982. The add in DD says summer of '83.... |

 Are you sure the ad mentions the year? The Daredevil issue is cover dated Jan. 1983, which would mean it came out in Oct. 1982, only a little after the summer. |

The ad does not mention the year but what I am saying is the Uncanny X-Men/Teen Titans crossover came out January 1982, according to the sources I can find. This DD issue came out January 1983 (or even as you say, October 1982). That still means this ad is advertising for a book that happened months earlier...
Am I missing something? Cuz here is how I see it....
Uncanny X-Men/Teen Titans comes out January 1982 Daredevil #190 comes out January 1983 (or October 1982) and has ad above saying "coming this summer" which would be summer of '83. Nothing comes out summer of '83 that I am aware of... |

The X-Men/Teen Titans special does not have a cover date (only "1982" in the indicia), but my ComicBase database has 11/1982, which if correct means that it came out later in the year, late summer at the earliest. |

I understand that the story that the ad was showcasing was in fact the same name as the one published...I just do not understand why the ad says coming this summer...when it actually came LAST summer and would have been in stores for a year. Seems like a poor time to advertise it.

Daredevil #190 had an on sale date of September 28, 1982. |

^Okay, that makes a bit more sense. Still as a reader, I would think something was coming out summer of 1983 since the ad comes after the release of the actual issue.
So perhaps not a house ad that lied but rather a house ad that confused?
