Bonkers ads
old atari game ads
New Universe previews
the so called fan mail letters. 2 pages worth of that stuff at the end of every issue. Sometimes i wonder if any of them were real or not

Since several of us here had letters printed back then, I think it's safe to assume most were real.
Cei-U!
Mine was, anyway!

Dont forget those old club points ads where you had to sell stuff or whatever and youd get points to get your parents to order some decent crud back then.

My immediate answer was nothing, as I can pick up a book from the 80s any time I want and see the things I liked, but in the spirit of the post, I miss the D&D comic strip drawn by Bill Willingham used in the TSR ads for Dungeons & Dragons...    -M |

actually Im talking about ads in comic books during the 1980s.
Stuff like ads for atari games, candy such as Bonkers.
Even the stuff where you collect points in order to get junk like walkmans or whatever.
That and the fan letter mail secion at the end of the comics.
ads for upcoming Marvel's New Universe which was a big deal coming up back then

Old 1980s Marvel subscription to comics.
Now if I read that right, 6 dollars for something like Spider Man or X Men, but 17 dollars for Savage Sword of Conan?

At the end of the 80s, that would have made sense... Savage sword of Conan was selling for $1.50 around issue 120, so a 17 dollars subscription price would be an economy. |
