Star Wars Spread in the 1978 Heroes World Catalog
I’ve mentioned many times before how I love the illustrated ads from comic books of the seventies, and that makes me truly enjoy the Heroes World catalogs that were 100% illustrated ads. Yep, nothing but comic book pages of advertisements for toys, shirts, posters, comics, and assorted junk that was certain to get kids excited back during my childhood.
I just love the way the artists would draw the toys and iconic Star Wars images for these ads! Looking at this makes me wonder just how many different illustrated Star Wars ads were designed for comic books back in the seventies and eighties.
Is there an online archive somewhere that showcases all of the Star Wars ads of the time?
