Comic Book Ads

John Martz | June 30th, 2005

This gallery of comic book ads from the ’80s takes me back. I specifically remember this one and thinking to myself, “wow, with this and E.T., it’s evident that aliens LOVE themselves some Reese’s Pieces!” The only thing I noticed this collection was missing was Hostess snack cake ads, so I tracked down this link for you as well: The Hostess Page.

    This was actually tied into a TV ad campaign in 1982/3 in which an ET-like alien would come along and steal Resse's Pieces with a final line something like "Me snurrfl bye bye".
  • wow-

    thanks for the post!!!!!

    Does anyone remember the one-page D&D comics/ads in the 80's? I'd love to get a scan of some of those.

    And BTW, the hostess page is great but has NSFW ads at the bottom.
  • WOW! This really brings back memories. *sigh* Those were the good ol'days....yup! Thanx for sharing this,I'm in nostalgia mode now. ^^
  • Gotta love the 80's...
