In 1984 Iron Man had allot to be happy about, not that you could tell from the mask. The seminal story of his battle with booze 'Demon In A Bottle' had been collected into trade paperback for the first time, and while the iron hat and jacket combo may not suggest it was a battle Stark had won, it is a prime example of just how cool the themed subscription pages of yesterday were.
I so remember that ad. Also some of the others as well - 'grow muscles', 'x-ray glasses' etc., etc., etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd who could forget the sea monkeys?
You had to have a sense of humour.
Thanks for the comment Jonathon!
ReplyDeleteSea Monkeys were always cropping up huh!
I also remember a Spider-Man and Power Pack notice about people touching you incorrectly. Even when I was young I thought it was cool Marvel cared enough to do that, and act in the readers best interest.
