Monday Madness AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY in A Tale Twice-Told!

What do this comic...
...and this comic...
...have in common...besides both being published as a joint project by Marvel Comics and the American Cancer Society?
Here's the inside covers from both books...
1982
1998
Figure it out?
Here's one more comparison...the back covers from both books...
1982
1998
Isn't it odd Luke seems to have forgotten cigar-smoking Nick Fury and Ben (the Thing) Grimm?
The answer is...it's the exact same comic script (including word balloons and captions), just illustrated by two different art teams a decade apart!
(OK, to be fair, the text in the block Cage is lifting is different..but that's the only thing, and it's not story-related!)
You'll see both versions of this tale Tuesday through Friday at our "brother" RetroBlog

Public Service Ad EASY WAY TO A TUFF SURFBOARD! / IS THIS STORY ABOUT YOUR BOYFRIEND?

The legendary Frank Frazetta did a number of sadly, now-forgotten, pieces...
...like this public service anti-smoking ad that ran through the b/w Warren Magazines line from 1964 to 1971 or so.
Note the main aspect is the financial cost to the smoker, not the physical cost!
Publisher Jim Warren knew how to repurpose material to get additional free use out of it.
Just by changing the title, he found a re-use for this male bonding experience in his short-lived female-oriented Teen Love Stories magazine!
Fascinating, eh?
