AWESOME ADS! ON THE SCENE - EIGHTH & FINAL PART...

Back cover of On The SCENE

However good omnibus collections of comicbooks or magazines

may be, something is always missing.  The smell of the paper and the

adverts are partly responsible for conjuring up the mood and memories

of the period  in which the publications of our youth were printed, and

without those two elements, the magic is bound to be less potent than

it otherwise could, would, and should be.

So having previously presented the contents of the 1966 one-

shot On The SCENE Presents SUPER HEROES, I thought I'd

complete the series by showcasing the ad pages in order to give you

the full flavour of the magazine and the time in which it first appeared.

As well as ads for AURORA plastic kits, there's a plethora of various

other pulsating products that American kids had at their fingertips,

and British kids could, in the main, only dream of.

Hopefully these scans will somewhat satiate your yearnings for

yesteryear - even if only in a small way.  So what are you waiting

for?  The past awaits your presence, and will not be denied.  The

present will still be here when you're ready to return.
