No I meant a sandwich not a nuclear powered ’sub’marine!!

January 20th, 2007

I’ve got to say I really thought this was a doctored picture when I first saw it. I was reading through Aquaman 33 from 1967 and I found one of the advertisements that they were running at the time. Parents are concerned when they sell plastic guns in the shops now imagine this!!!

hey tommy you comin over to play in my nuclear submarine

I love how it gleefully sells the fact that it fires rockets and torpedoes! The graphic that shows the ICBM being launched next to smiling housewife (who’ll probably have to clean up the nuclear fallout before having dinner on the table) was what finally convinced me though!

Is it only break away rogue soviet states that I can get this now?

Oh and I apologise for the lame title for those of you who got it.Jack Facts

If everyone on “24″ followed Jack Bauer’s instructions, it would be called “12″.

    Does this mean nuclear powered subs cannot be bought in comic books?

    Not anymore - I haven’t seen any of late - I don’t even think they have sea monkeys advertised any more. It’s all Got Milk and stuff LOL
    If you are even vaguely into Star Trek you should check Jean-Luc’s blog if only so you can leave a comment and have it called a Starfleet Transmission LOL
