This is an ad for the Merry Marvel Marching Society. It was a fun ad that was in a 1960s issue. Was anyone a member reading this?

This is an ad promoting the Spider-Man annuals for the Vibranium Vendetta storyline. I have no memory of the story details. This was sent to comic shops to promote the books.

I was too young to join this, but I remember thinking about joining WAM back in the 1990s. I never did though. Ironically Marvel just launched another loyalty program.
