365 Days of DC House Ads, Day 268: Because of this comic book, Julius Schwartz was shot, stuffed and mounted...at the New York Athletic Club. But the joke is on them, because it's restricted.


House ad for Showcase #71 [The Maniaks] (November-December 1967); printed in The Spectre (1967 series) #1 (November-December 1967)
Comic cover art: pencils by Mike Sekowsky, inks by Mike Esposito
Ad designed and lettered by Ira Schnapp

Woody Allen? Woody Allen?!?

Panels from Showcase #71 (November-December 1967), script by E. Nelson Bridwell, pencils by Mike Sekowsky, inks by Mike Esposito
