Now that you've seen the advertisement, you instantly have a new goal in your life— to see Superman and the Giant Cyclops! Your curiosity is already growing rampant, but like most of the tens of thousands of kids who have seen this ad, you can't go to the 1964 World's Fair. This painful predicament has haunted Devlin Thompson for decades. Devlin operates Athen's Bizarro Wuxtry comic shop as well as the Home of Bippy blog, where he has finally solved the mystery of the Superman/Cyclops ad!I found the reveal to be surprisingly satisfying. Discovering the truth behind comic book ads is of the noblest endeavors. Well done Mr. Thompson.

Hard to believe there was a time when 40 cents was much different than, say, 50 cents.
