Since
the response to Tinkle Ads From The 1980s was so
awesome, I decided to run another feature showcasing ads from
comic books of that decade. This time around, I tracked down
some old Indrajal comics to scan and share, although
most of the ads there were also seen in Tinkle and
other comics. If you don't remember Indrajal comics,
you need to take a moment to shoot yourself. These guys published
all kinds of crazy shit... they had a few widely-read titles
like The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician,
as well as other more obscure characters and even some home-grown
heroes.
This
is what most of them looked like:
As
you can see, it was all very rivetting stuff. Someday I'll do
a feature on one of the stories, but today we're going to amuse
ourselves by looking at some of the ads they featured. Ten of
them, to be exact. Understood? Good. Now hold out your tongue
and say "pant-shirt".
