As late as the 90s, advertisements in Marvel Comics were a weird assortment of stuff. As well as adverts for Hostess Twinkies, the advertising space in the magazines were perhaps a little less refined than it is today: huge swathes of text, ordered into columns on miniscule print with colours bleeding, classifieds advertising everything from muscle gain to authentic coin sets, comic book dealers to homeschooling, karate training to sea horses.
Whenever I'm reading a 70s comic, half of the fun is in looking at these old adverts. In its own way it is so 70s, and so preposterous, that the classifieds in TV guides or newspapers today pale in comparison.
So, what would you rank as the most ridiculous classified advert you've come across in the comic books of an older generation?
