This is a classic ad printed in Marvel Comics showing off the Atari 2600 video game. I played the heck out of this when I was a kid. The red dot was Spidey, the green was the Goblin. This ad played a big part in making me ask for it during the Christmas of 1982. I think this is John Romita art.
This ad probably appeared in magazines or newspapers advertising the new NBC show Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends. I don’t remember seeing it in any comics.
This was an ad that was sent to comic shops to promote the Spider-Man/ Batman team up. I’ve never seen this image before, but it’s a classic from Mark Bagley. I recently found this on […]
I think they’re selling a cell phone, but it’s still cool!

Back in my day….
Love this stuff. Hysterical commercial, I don’t remember that one bit. As for the artwork, I could see it being Sal and JR SR or even JR SR and Frank Giacoia doing the inks…
Good stuff.
So at the end of that commercial, Norman is so worked up he commits suicide?
Don’t you think it may be Sal Buscema inked by Romita?
Remember the commercial that acted out the print ad?:

I still have this game packed away somewhere. I just don’t have my Atari anymore.
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do do
Do do do.
Still remember the opening jingle! 🙂

Yeah I’m calling Romita Sr. too. Not as readily obvious as it usually is, but in the end it could be not other.
