“Countdown to the most fantastic compendium of space stuff ever!”

While digging through one of the comic boxes this morning I ran across this ad for Dark Horse’s Blast Off* guide to space toys of the thirties, forties, and fifties. I’ve mentioned the book a few times before — reading post, affiliate link — and spotting this ad made me smile. How did I not buy this book in 2001 as soon as I saw the ad?

So where/when was the ad run? Well, this ad comes from a late 2001 issue of the Superman/Tarzan book by Chuck Dixon and Carlos Meglia. The only reason I even bought Superman/Tarzan: Sons of the Jungle* was because of Meglia’s artwork, and even several years later I find that Meglia’s art on the book is phenomenal. Easily just as good as his various Star Wars projects.
