Green Lantern in "The Bobsled Run" (Hostess Ads #94)
| On a site dedicated to making a wiki history of all things comics, comics ads should not be forgotten. Especially the ads for Hostess Fruit Pies, Twinkies, and other snacks. Starting in 1975, Marvel and DC heroes (and the Harvey,Archie, and Gold Key/Whitman characters as well!) spent seven years throwing Hostess snacks at a bizarre line of villains to stop their crimes. Although many of the villains were completely silly, they were created specifically for these ads, and in many cases, not even the names have been used again, since the ads stopped in mid-1982. |
So I thought I'd show an ad here, and make a list of the comics I find it in, as I run across them. This list features: Green Lantern in "The Bobsled Run." There are no notes on the Hostess Superhero Advertisements page:
Watching a bobsled run, Hal Jordan and the rest of the crowd witness an ice boulder crash into the course. Changing to Green Lantern, he quickly removes the boulder, enabling the bobsled team to complete their run without incident. They were grateful not to lose their Twinkies in a crash (that sounds...nevermind).
