Whoever it was did that first ad, I hope they were never allowed to draw Magneto again.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I would almost certainly freak the hell out if Magneto, Doc Ock and Doom came carolling around my way. Even the ad alone gave me the shivers.
ReplyDeleteAw, ain't Lockjaw adorable? Bring back The Thing, dagnabbit!
ReplyDelete'Heed the word of Odin! Fill out the coupon below!!'
ReplyDelete...lord, how I do love Marvel. Or, at least, did.
I love the "pass the hat" feeling of these ads. As if the characters are "breaking the fourth wall" and admitting that this all just play-acting but they'd like to keep it going as much as you would so maybe you could help out and then we can all get back to the fun!
ReplyDeleteIf only NPR pledge drives were this entertaining ... and brief.
Lockjaw, such the cutest lil' dickens there! I remember cutting that one out and giving it to my mom for my birthday present. Unfortunately, she must have ticked the wrong box because I got "Marvel Team-Up" and not my desired X-men subscription. Thx mom!
