I love paging through old horror comics. They were really popular back in the day, and there's a million of them. Here's a couple images that caught my eye. The first is from Tales from the Tomb (1974)
First of all is it really okay to say that something is so ugly it doesn't deserve to live? Are we okay with this? Should we go and exterminate all the ugly people of the world? The guy on the right actually says he doesn't want to live in the same world with something this ugly. I'm kinda on the creature's side in this comic - I hope it disfigures them so they'll learn to not be so genocidally hot against ugly things.Plus, did this chick really just say "Great Scott, Captain"? Really? Did she just quote James Doohan?
The next one is from Witches' Tales (Dec. 1971)
Check out this treasure trove of ilicit delights for the kiddies. This one little comic book ad is both a parent's worst nightmare and a child's fantasy. Let's take stock here: (1) there's realistic guns which actually fire, (2) a real switch blade knife, (3) a secret book safe - obviously a place to store cigarettes, pot, or other ilicit items, (4) a motion picture projector - judging by the ad, it's not intended for family vacation films, (5) the legendary x-ray specs, designed to see through women's clothing, and, finally, (6) a slot machine to develop Junior's taste for gambling.
