KG Erwin -> Comic Book Ads for Wargames (9/4/2006 1:05:53 AM)

I suppose this is an age test, of sorts. I recall that in the mid to late 60s, Avalon Hill placed a few ads in certain Marvel comics -- I believe that's how I was introduced to the world of board wargames as a ten-year-old kid in 1967. What's even weirder is that I also recall a few ads for Mothers of Invention LPs in Marvel comics. Didn't realize how subversive the comic book world really was back in 1967-68. Anyone else of my generation remember this? Of course, my parents unknowingly contributed to my twisted imagination -- in 1967, for birthday/Christmas presents, they bought me copies of AH's "Stalingrad" (my first-ever wargame), The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper" LP, AND a cheap acoustic guitar. Those three items changed my life.
