Hostess Comic Book Ads

Tuesday, December 26th, 2006 | Comic Books, Food & Drink |

Archive of all Hostess comic book ads. There were tons of those ads when I was reading comic books as a kid, and they’re all about as corny as this one:

I guess discovering what crime The Human Computer actually committed is left as an exercise for the reader.

Via Random Panels, who is worth checking out if you like comic books. His Kirbycize is awesome.

And if you like those ads, see Jim Treacher’s re-imagining of vintage comic book ads. Not safe for work, and that third one with the Hulk is a bit much. Oh vey.

Bonus! Archie comics has been re-designed for a modern, realistic look. I agree with whoever said this sounds like a New Coke experiment to be followed by Classic Archie. Via Treacher.
