A few weeks ago, F.O.A.M.er Jon Knutson sent me some cool scans of original art, all featuring Aquaman, none more unusual than this--an original Hostess Ad page!
I don't know how many of these Hostess ads have ever been conclusively credited, art-wise, but this one looks like a Curt Swan and Vince Colletta combo to me. Obviously, over time the paste-up of the Twinkies seen on the final version has since fallen off, leaving an ugly brown rubber cement stain, a blight many artists know well.
Thanks Jon!

My pleasure, as always, Rob!
Very cool! And looks like a Twinkie got smashed on the scanner there. Hah!
I always loved these ads but I never ate more Hostess stuff because of them. I was a fat kid and I knew to stay away from them.
Very cool. I would love to own some original Hostess ads art.
