Awesome stuff from comics OTHER THAN THE ACTUAL COMICS (INCLUDING COVERS) THEMSELVES.
Letters, editor's columns, ads, etc.
Bonus points if it's shit that would never be published today (pic related).

what did this run in?
>>91956520
pretty much everytime Giffen and DeMatteis' teams up they put something funny or witty in the credits box
Ah yes, that icon of feminist women's lib, 70s OG bloodthirsty "AND WITHOUT DANGER MY LIFE IS EMPTY" Lady Shiva.
>>91964101
Larson used to do that a lot in Savage Dragon too
Anyone have Kurt Busiek writing in to tell Chris Claremont he's ruining the X-Men and that he has now stopped buying them for a second time?
>>91964533
The only real beef that I have with Claremont is that he took the Marvel "lets make comic books serialized dramas" concept ball and ran with it right off the deep end. At least with Excalibur, he seemed to be a little bit more jovial about it
>>91966140
Excalibur may be my favorite Claremont, it's a close tie with Sienkiewicz era New Mutants and Paul Smith Uncanny
>>91958090
Does this count as good?

It's a joke that I always love
>>91956579
Oh man I'm tempted to write this and send it to Marvel's ketter column once they get a Punisher comic out again.
See if they publish it again.

I suddenly felt like I was reading 4chan.
John McCrea's first 2000AD published art.
Garth Ennis sends a letter to his favorite war comic. A few decades later, he'd be curating lavish hardcover collections of their best material.
>>91970836
Isn't there a Punisher comic coming out right now? Could have sworn there was an issue this month even.
And Warren Ellis gets profiled.
>>91977132
Forgot to add: McCrea is drawing the current Judge Dredd story.

Why? Was this during the show's awful second season?
>>91956520
I was reading one of Kyle's first solo issues for Green Lantern (53, specifically) and they were printing letters from GL fans during Emerald Twilight, excited to see Hal's progression towards redemption
If only they knew

>"Let go of the post, Hal Jordan, and it will launch you into a brighter future. All you have to do is survive it!"
>"Even though GL has some of hte most cosmic powers in the comic-book world, the thing that, I think, sets him apart from others is the fact that he's very human. As he siad in issue #1, "I'm just a man. Finite and imperfect." As far as storylines go, I would like to see more new characters rather than old ones, new situations, more of Hal working with other heroes and GLs, more interesting supporting characters"
>The reply- "Talk about new situations..now Hal is infinite and imperfect. And you'll be getting plenty of new supporting characters with Kyle. What do you think of our first one, Alex?"
>>91977260
Fucking loved those things.

They weren't even subtle back then.

>Bill Paxton will never play Lobo ;_;
>>91978232
Wizard used to have those.
In fact, come to think of it, we should have "cool shit from 90s Wizard Magazine" threads on /co/ more often. They were fucking great in their early years.
>>91978623
Bravo Stan.
>>91956649
>an unusual name like Ryan
tfw you knew like ten Ryans in a school of like 400 kids.
>>91967042
You need to change the name he lists in the letter to Brian as well.
>>91978232
Blonde Brad Pitt doesn't fit Jean-Paul though.

July 1983.

Huh, that predates Byrne's Man of Steel by 3 or 4 years.
>>91979803
Maybe they were already preparing Crisis on Infinite Earths?

But it's a serpent. Also this had to have been written right before Gwen was killed. Because that was when people realized the only thing Pete was left with was marrying Gwen and where's the conflict in that since they didn't want to have him face Gwen finding out that he's party responsible for her father's death.

I had two ryans in the same class whose last names were almost identical

I WANT THE SURPRISE BOX
Do comics still have letters pages? I haven't picked up a floppy in a while
>>91957948
Don't forget the one where you could buy an actual monkey and have them ship it to you in a box.
Does anyone have that letters page from The Invisibles where Morrison urges readers to have a collective magic wank to boost sales?
>>91984833
Mine is too dirty to scan.
>>91977546
Is it bad I can recognise this as Oglaf from the lettering alone?
>>91984662
19.99 now they cost 4000. Feh inflation.
my favorite thing about old comics are the letters columns cause they reveal that the all-too-real stereotype of the manchild fanboy has remained virtually unchanged for the last 40 years at least
I love old Hostess ads
