It's an okay ad (although I wonder what's distracting Batman), but the text reveals one of the reasons why Marvel was able to overtake DC--in overall coolness, and then eventually in sales--by the late 1960s.
Thanks Andy!

DC Teams House Ad - 1966
It's an okay ad (although I wonder what's distracting Batman), but the text reveals one of the reasons why Marvel was able to overtake DC--in overall coolness, and then eventually in sales--by the late 1960s.

Batman was probably looking away in disgust at the way DC was pushing the campy new 'super' Blackhawks. Now I love the Magnificent 7 but I wish that brief period in their history had never happened...
Everyone was doing campy once it made a hit of Batman.
The Blackhawks, drawn by soon-to-be JLA Artist Extraordinaire, Dick Dillin!!!
