Mystery Ads

Yes, we're all tired of cryptic promos from comic companies, where they drop a vague image or a single word, and sit back and laugh while we go ape trying to figure what new project is being teased.

But you, we've kind of got it pretty good compared to some old promos:

Uhhh...OK...?

"We're working on...something. LEAVE US ALONE!!"

I guess that's what you do when you have half a page to fill with a promo and don't have any actual new ideas to promote...

Of course, as we've discussed in the past, DC could be the master of the vague, uninformative promo.

This ad from Superboy #143 (1967)
