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 is ad for the Trial of Venom that was written by Peter David. This poster was sent to comic shops to promote the storyline. If memory serves you had to mail off for this […]
Who remembers this ad from back in the day? Double shipping Spidey comics in the summer? Mind blown.
Who remembers this one from the early 1990’s?

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! 🙂
I loved that game soooooo much. I actually whistle the little bit of music that played before the level started all the time. I’d love to find a way to play it again!!!
Yeah I’m calling Romita Sr. too. Not as readily obvious as it usually is, but in the end it could be not other.
