Americomics Special #1 Sentinels of Justice
I didn't know that Americomics had published this story. It looks like they had an agreement with Charlton Comics to publish them. It seems they even had plans to continue to do so with the ads for Blue Beetle at the end. Then at the last minute DC b...

WOW! I had to show this 1973 in house ad. I didn't know that Marvel did any ads for Power Man. This was the first time that I saw it. So here is a 20th Century ad from 1973 that was out when I started my comic book career. Buying not creating. Now he...

DC Anniversary Issues Ad
Here is an in house ad for many anniversary issues at DC Comics from 1983. Two of the issues I am wondering why they are here. First is Detective Comics #526. Had this been #527 I would understand. Batman first appeared in the book in #27. Therefore,...
