More Gen X-era comic ads! Do you remember any of these?

Going into the weekend like a magnificent demon throwing fireballs at a giant octopus! Stay safe out there!

Thought I'd make some homemade cotton candy tonight, but it got out of hand. I'll report back as soon as the situation is under control.

I stay away from political issues on my feed and try to focus on comics, but I really believe it's important that everyone stay informed in these crazy times. Our democracy depends on it. That's why I never miss an issue of Gold Key Comics Club News.

We're going QUAD-BOX for your Thursday with a quartet of hip and happenin' Gold Key covers from the mid-1960s!

A couple more "Boris Karloffs" with & without the commercial dress. It was a neat idea to reprint the covers on the back with no titles or logos -- really lets the art speak for itself. And in many cases (as with 2nd example) it's easier to figure out what's going on.

The cool thing about early issues of Gold Key's "Boris Karloff Tales of Mystery" is that they would include full-color "pinups" of the cover on the back cover, minus the title, headlines and logo, so you could appreciate the artistry that went into them.

A couple of more before-and-after retouched versions -- these covers were in pretty good shape to begin with and didn't require much tweaking. I think the second one benefited from being 'shopped because it makes it a little easier to see the weird color of the possessed hand.

Gold Key's Boris Karloff title featured a surprising number of giant monster stories throughout its run. Issue #29 (1970) had two -- the iconic cover story and another equally intriguing tale, "The Day it Rained Monsters."

The comic book ad Gen X Hall of Fame -- these are the ads I saw literally thousands of times growing up in the 70s and 80s!
