There were at least 8 or 9 of them, variously titled THE SUPERHERO CATALOG or HEROES' WORLD CATALOG. and they were printed at World Color Press and distributed to the newsstand market with regular domics (which in retrospect seems kind of strange).Devlin Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11358271733393938491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-84685711382403753432007-05-21T18:06:00.000-05:002007-05-21T18:06:00.000-05:00Thanks, Kirk!

They were full of Marvel and DC related toys, gee-gaws, medallions and such. I believe the art was provided by the Kubert School.Scott Saavedrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17144689109960346808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24558766.post-84982389259313877652007-05-15T20:46:00.000-05:002007-05-15T20:46:00.000-05:00Jon- your comic ad posts are an internet treasure....Jon- your comic ad posts are an internet treasure.

Especially when he looked down upon scores of photographers before his public appearance and pulled off the ol' mask to take it all in. Jeez.<BR/><BR/>todd- seriously. muppet babies, flintstone kids, little archies, tiny toons....<BR/><BR/>devlin- sheesh, I actually AM surprised you have one.

Would the little babies head be poking through Hulk's mouth? <BR/><BR/>As for revealing the secret identies, maybe the designers were just pioneering the practic of humanizing the characters like Sam Raimi does in the 2nd two Spiderman flicks.
