Wow, those A-Team adverts are fun! Remember seeing a lot of those other ads on the back of comic books as well 🙂

I love the “Super Hang Ups” ad. I remember seeing this in my younger days. I wish I had a Superman Hang Up today… especially a 24 inch plastic Decoplaque for only 25 cents!

  They’re cool aren’t they. Back then there seemed to be a lot of merchandise like this showing Superman, Batman, Wonderwoman and Spider-Man – these four seem to feature the most in the comic book ads I’ve seen.
