Even More Marvel M-Ad-ness: Marvel, 1973...the Most Supernatural Year of All?
Dig it, Groove-ophiles! Ol' Groove has been digging through a big ol' bunch'a Marvel mags from 1973, and I've excavated some very cool full-page house ads. As you'll see, Marvel was really pushing their supernatural mags (both color and black and white), since (thanks to all the hoopla surrounding movies like The Exorcist) the supernatural was a huge trend at that time. And the art! Barry (Windsor-) Smith, Jim Steranko, Gil Kane, Jim Starlin, and more! Check 'em out!
