From Superman #206, 1968:
OK, I know it was a scam...but I really want to know how it "penetrates solid barriers."
Not to mention, I'm dying to know the native language of whoever wrote this ad copy, because it couldn't have been English. "Your Man From Uncle Spy Pen is a master of Precision Engineering"???
And hey, it comes "complete with simple how-to-use instruction booklet"! You'd think that would be standard, and not a "special feature" (rather like DVD's that list "interactive menu" as a special feature...'cause those NON-interactive menus make it kinda hard to play the damn movie...).
And gosh only knows how much those autographed pictures of Robert Vaughn and David McCallum are going for on eBay right now....

Oh you have just named one of my hot buttons where DVDs are concerned. This was especially bad during the early days when there wasn't a whole lot of space to put anything besides the movie on a disc.
The Spy Pen sounds hella cool. Check out the kick ass guns in this ad.
The line is *probably* supposed to read "Your 'Man From Uncle' Spy Pen...", yada yada; my guess, anyways :P
