I love old comic advertisements. With my background in marketing and having worked as a comics retailer, I find this stuff fascinating! Today we're featuring a number of Firestorm promotional blurbs from Amazing Heroes. If you're not familiar with Amazing Heroes, it was a magazine about comic books published by Fantagraphics Books from 1981 to 1992. It regularly featured industry news, comics creator interviews, histories of comic book characters, and reviews. It was the precursor to publications like Wizard Magazine, but without the price guide and overly-hyped content. These promotions cover issues starting around Fury of Firestorm #22, and run all the way up to #100. One of the things I love is finding plots or concepts in the promotions that never appeared in the comic. These were story ideas the author was considering while planning future months, but ultimately chose not to pursue. I find those "road not taken" ideas fascinating.
