Jim Treacher re-imagines vintage '70s comic book ads. Not safe for work. Especially that Incredible Hulk ad for Hostess cupcakes. Yikes.

I read a lot of comic books growing up in the '70s. I hadn't thought of that AAU Shuperstar ad in forever. In the original, I think the villains' nefarious weapon was set to go off at the beginning of the next disco tune. That's why AAU Shuperstar had to kill him by kicking him into outer space with his AAU tennis shoes, you see.

By the way, did anyone actually ever see AAU shoes for sale anywhere? Even once?
