“Free Batman Comic Book” in 1984
From a 1984 DC comic book comes this advertisement that is so very similar to a 1984 Marvel comics ad that it’s possible to look at one and think that you’ve seen them both. Surprise, kids! Both DC and Marvel got into the act with Newtons cookies and if your parents were willing to buy a hell of a lot of cookies then you could get two free comics. I suspect that just buying two more comic books would have been a lot cheaper than buying all of those cookies.
