Today in Comics History, August 8, 1951: Free — Free / A Trip to Mars / For 900 / Empty Jars / Burma-Shave

Facing a blank page in this month's issue of Weird Fantasy, EC co-editors Bill Gaines (in the brown suit) and Al Feldstein (blue) concoct the ultimate special bonus: a gag advertisement offering a free trip to Mars!


from "The Ad!" in Weird Fantasy (1951 series) #14 (EC, July 1952); co-plot by Bill Gaines; co-plot, script, pencils and inks by Joe Orlando; colors by Marie Severin; letters by Jim Wroten

How'd that work out for ya, guys?
