And I don’t think that’s a coincidence, either…

Old comic books are the best to look at for swipe files. And I remember those Charles Atlas ads when I was kid reading. I use to love them as a kid. Those were the ones that caught my attention alot. The cool thing is I still have majority of all those comic books right now. So I can definitely look back on all of this and see those swipes and classic ads pretty easily. Thanks for reminding me why comics STILL are pretty cool. It was comics that actually taught me how to read and write stories anyway. Great article. You are speaking my language.

Sometimes when I'm reading through the scanned comic ads I have, I STILL get the urge to send .25 cents for that new guide on how to fight like a deadly kung-fu ninja warrior or send for those sea monkeys ;) Ben I hear ya on that one Doug — too bad they stopped using the direct response ads (and regressed to image ads) after the early 1990′s.
