Comic Ad: Mattel Shogun Warriors

Comic Ad: Mattel Shogun Warriors

 It’s a holiday here today and technically that means I’m supposed to be assembling patio furniture and cleaning my garage. However, I couldn’t resist posting this knock out ad from the summer of 1979 that I poured over for many an hour.

    I went to the Kubert school in the 70s and 80s and this looks like one of the many ads they produced (they also did the Heroes World ads). Often Joe Kubert would quickly draw them himself.
