Product Review

Leaping provocatively off the pages of comic books from the 1940's and 1950s, sandwiched in between the adventures of Captain Marvel or Archie or Mutt & Jeff, were the shameless and often bizarre advertisements for miraculous products that promised to change your life. This book collects the best of these ads, re-igniting all the wonder and hope of that more innocent era. Glow-in-the-dark neckties, miniature monkeys in a cup, a lamp that turns into a Christmas tree, as well as surefire ways to get rid of pimples.
