18 classic comic book ads

I had a huge comic book collection when I was a kid. I used to marvel at the cool stuff you could order from the ads in the back of the book. See how many of these classics you remember...

If there's one ad you remember it must be this. Who didn't want a family of Sea Monkeys?

A hypno-coin and X-Ray specs and you'd be in like Flynn!
