Merry Marvel Marching
Continuing the Stan Lee theme, here’s a classic Marvel comic book ad from the 60’s.
If the magnificent Marvel t-shirts don’t get your attention, then the macho Marvel sweatshirts will. These classic heroes t-shirts sold for under two bucks and you could choose from the Hulk, the Thing, Fantastic Four, Thor, Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Avengers or Captain Marvel. Or you could grab a sweatshirt with the Hulk or the Thing on it, if you wanted to emerge eloquent. (I wonder why the shirt collars appear accentuated. Perhaps that’s how they wore them back then.)
There’s also an option at the bottom of the ad to join the Merry Marvel Marching Society for a dollar. You’d get some super stickers, rocking recordings, a nutty new notepad, a magniloquent mini-book, a mind-snapping Marvel pencil, a majestic MMMs certificate and your very own munificent membership card too. (Stan Lee’s mastery of vocabulary and alliteration is super-human.)
Feast you baby blues on the marvelously, monstrous version of this classic ad.

looking at that, you notice the x-men didn’t even rate for a shirt. now look at them. their marvel’s biggest seller. old comic book ads were the best.
