Public Service Comics: Blatant Sales

Ok, final bit of Public Service comics, except these are pretty blatant advertisements. The first comics is "Taz's 40th Birthday Blowout from K-Mart," published for KMart by DC Comics, 1994. Bugs and friends take Taz to K-Mart so he can pick out his 40th birthday present.


"The Adventures of Kool-Aid Man," from Marvel Comics Group, 1983 with Kool-Aid copyright General Foods is a bit better. In this comic Kool-Aid fights the thirsties in two separate stories, plus puzzles, special offers, and how to build your own Kool-Aid stand. It says it's a 60 cent value, although I think I mailed away for this comic after drinking three packages of Kool-Aid. I was in college at the time, so it was either free or really cheap.


And finally, the "Ex-Mutants: Consumer Electronics Show Edition!" from Malibu Graphics, 1992. There's nothing about the CES in the comic, except to promote the new Ex-Mutants game on Sega Genesis
