1979 Heroes World and Alien

If you do not have the recent reprint of 1979’s Alien: The Illustrated Story* then you need to rush out now and buy a copy. Goodwin and Simonson’s work on the adaptation is still great comics storytelling and holds up very well.

Today I want to share this full-page ad from Heroes World #1 in 1979. This was a catalog devoted to selling stuff to comic, toy, and sci-fi/fantasy fans, and if you look way down at the bottom of the page you’ll see the offer for the Alien comic adaptation. These old comic ads are a blast, and having entire comic books of comic ads is so great that I want to find more of these old catalogs.
