Throwback - Retro Comic Book Ads.

I love looking at some cool Throwbacks...

1960's - The top half of of an Aurora ad for their line of model kits.

I've been following some pretty sweet accounts on instagram and I bumped into Comic Book Ads. They have a nice collection of retro advertisements from Marvel Comics, DC Comics, Video Games and more. Being that it's #ThrowbackThursday I thought it would be a sweet treat to share some with you, enjoy!

1981 - Pac-Man watches.

1982 - Bling Bling Marvel, DC comic rings.

1978 - Pacific Comics.

1959 - DC Comics house ad for Action Comics no. 254, the 2nd appearance of Bizarro.

1979 - Ad for ABC's Saturday morning line-up.

Wonderwoman

Throwback to Sacha Goldberger 'Super Flemish'.

Ok so I know this isn't really a "Throwback" (Dr. Evil Fingers) but I just started this blog recently and was looking for any excuse to feature French Photographers Sacha Goldberger's 'Super Flemish' series.

Goldberger took some fictitious pop culture icons such as superheros, fairytale characters and animals then photographed them as 16th century Flemish-style paintings. They wore their traditional outfits but with old-fashioned twists like ruffled collars and shirts with puffy sleeves. Over 100 people worked on the photos from this series, including 60 models, five costume designers and two digital editors.

Below be prepared to see some of your favorites, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, Batman, Snow White, Darth Vader, The Hulk, Spiderman and more.
