"THREE WEE WITCHES ON THE GREEN..."



Just for fun, here are three frightfully fiendish iconic images suitable for Hallowe'en.  First up, an AURORA ad from any number of DC COMICS mags from the 1960s - followed by the box art (painted by JAMES BAMA) of ol' FRANKENSTEIN's and DRACULA's plastic model kits by the selfsame company.  (AURORA, that is - not DC.)

Don't you just wish you had these two little beauties in your collection?  (I have.)

Okay, so I lied about the witches - sue me.

    That Frankenstein's Monster ad from the back of DC comics is certainly one that sticks in the mind ; in fact, so many of those back-page ads on DC comics in the sixties and early seventies were so iconic.
    I wonder if any artist of note did the DC ad, tracing the outlines of Bama's paintings to include all of the box covers that he did?

    I'd love to know who the artist is myself, B. Like you say, it's one of those iconic ads that sticks in the mind, just like the Zeroids, Captain Action, and G.I. Joe ads. Oh, and not forgetting Major Matt Mason.

    Any Crivvies know who the artist is on the Aurora ad in this post?
