Weekend wonders : Fearless Fosdick

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

Somebody is releasing scans for a truckload of old All-Star Westerns these days, with the ads included.  So, since this weekend is full to the brim with social obligations (so to speak), I’ll throw some of those your way and pretend I’m blogging all the same.

These Wildroot ads featuring Al Capp’s Fearless Fosdick (similar to the ones blogged about before) ran in All-Star Western # 83, 84 and 88, respectively.

Al Capp’s Fearless Fosdick gets the traditional DC don’t-say-your-name-backwards in this 1955 ad for Wildroot hair products.
