Classic Comic Ads | |
|
30/03/02 Been working on some new pages based on the Alan Moore penned "1963" comic series. It's an area that I originally wanted to cover in minor detail, however the more I'm getting back into the series the more I want to delve deeper. Thus begins the first chapter of the on-going review of 1963. 02/02/02 They're colourful, they're interesting and you can't get away with them now. Being the lucky bastard that I am, I have been fortunate to have been given a fair number of "silver-age" comics from the 1960s that are true momentos of a time gone but not forgotten. Mostly, mention advertising to me and I'll give you a lecture about how it is the fundimental root of all evil. Mention the charm and wit of comic advertising (especially from the 1960s) and I'll sit you down and discuss the finer points. With that half intro out of the way, welcome to classic comic ads. I've got more coming in future weeks and months, so don't think you've seen the last of these. Grant |
