    Default In House Ads you remember/liked

    Been discussing Captain Atom in another thread, so i wanted to start w. this one...:



    I didn’t really know who CA was prior to this series, but i remember seeing this ad and thinking, “I must own this book”.

    I didn't buy comics in the '80s so I saw this ad in back issues. It looked like an interesting title so I had a difficult time finding it because I wasn't aware that they had changed the name.

    This one was really eyecatching to me as a kid. Freaking Blevins, man. That guy could do no wrong...:


    And this one I remember because of that “if you need him to make a house call” line. I thought it was really clever!

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    ^^^That’s a great find! Misfits, eh? Glad that didn’t stick.

    That ad was for the "Fallen Angels" mini series, not for New Mutants.

    The ones for The Killing Joke and Batman The Cult had me curious what they were, as a 12 year old I didn't know what the term Prestige Format meant but I figured they cost a bit more than the standard 75 cents of a comic back then.
