- Here's a neat commercial for Marvel Comics featuring kids at a playground reading the comic books. Definitely low-budget.
Features X-Men, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Captain America, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Fantastic Four, Star Wars, and The Avengers.
Music almost sounds like the theme from Hawaii 5-O.

This aired on local Chicago TV in mid-August 1981.

I love how this is more of a commercial for the concept of comic books than for the books.
I had every issue they showed!
I'm a huge fan of Marvel Comics!
Just watching this commercial I see how Marvel Comics entertained readers. But for the 21st century I see how Marvel Studios became a huge franchise for Hollywood. People who thought that would happen are true comic book readers.
I wish comics were accessible to kids like this today. I cannot see how the industry continues.
On an endless stream of crossovers, "events" and reboots of reboots of reboots. I don't bother with any of them these days. 1981 Marvel - now there was quality.
Apps, most people get their comics via downloading services
@@snakes3425 Or reading them online.
It's a commercial, not a news broadcast.
Oh well, we’ll always have TPB’s.
I remember having Fantastic 4 Comics without knowing what is being said.
Invisible Woman. Thing vs Hulk.
More proof that comics were enjoyed by boys AND girls in the recent past. 💜
Geek girls are real.
I hate it when man meet a geeky woman and dont believe she is for real.
If i did meet one i would start flirting with her.
That reminds me.
Face it tiger.
You just hit the jackpot.
😘
@@belgiumcomics2537 Nice Mary Jane Watson reference.
The Punisher.
Elektra.
The Silver Surfer.
When Marvel Comics was a True Marvel!
It still is
1981 - The good old days when comics were only 50 cents after being only 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 cents.
This is a brilliant commercial
There should have been more female heroes back then, especially those with her own title like Wonder Woman has for DC.
There was she Hulk, ms. Marvel, dazzler and spider-woman. That's a lot. Black folks only had Luke Cage, and he had to share a title with Iron Fist. Black Panther only had a mini-series in the 80s.
There were dozens...
We have female heroes now...
DC had Supergirl and Lois Lane in their own titles back in the 70s until they were merged together in Superman Family besides having Black Orchid briefly headlining Adventure Comics (Which also starred Supergirl for a time) and Power Girl appeared in three issues of DC Showcase while Batgirl was featured in Batman Family.

Light Lass / Lightning Lass

@thoomolong That's not true at all.
Black Panther starred in 13 issues of Jungle Action back in 1973.
In fact, some portions of the "Panther's Rage" story in Jungle Action were used in the Black Panther movie.
I recognized the scene where Killmonger throws T'Challa off the waterfall from the comics instantly.
Then, Black Panther got his own title from 1977 to 1979.
It only lasted 15 issues before being canceled and the story that would have been concluded in issues #16, 17 and 18 were instead published in Marvel Premiere #51, 52 and 53 in 1979.
Since then, T'Challa has been featured in his own titles starting with the 1988 four issue mini-series, followed by:
Black Panther (1998 series - 62 issues)
Black Panther (2005 series - 41 issues)
Black Panther (2009 series - 12 issues)
Black Panther (2016 series - 18 issues)
Black Panther (2018 series - 25 issues)
Black Panther (2022 series - present)
Plus various mini-series.
As for Luke Cage, he got his own series, Hero For Hire in 1972.
It lasted 16 issues before it was retitled to Luke Cage - Power Man with #17 and became Power Man & Iron Fist in 1978 until it was canceled with #125 in 1986.
Then, he got a 20 issue series called Cage in 1992 plus a couple of mini-series in 2002 and 2016.
The Falcon co-starred with Captain America starting with #134 in 1971 until #222 in 1978.
He then had a one-shot solo issue in Marvel Premiere #49 in 1979 and a four issue mini-series in 1983, an eight issue series in 2017 and a Falcon & The Winter Soldier mini-series in 2020.
He also appeared in Captain America and The Falcon (2004) for 14 issues and Captain America: Sam Wilson (2015) for 24 issues.
He also appeared in the Captain America and The Falcon book and record set produced by Peter Pan/Power Records in 1974.
War Machine had a couple of series in 1994 (25 issues) and 2009 (12 issues).
Black Goliath had a 5 issue series in 1976.
His alter ego, Bill Foster was played by Laurence Fishburne in Ant-Man & The Wasp and he also voiced the character on the animated series, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur.
And of course, DC has Black Lightning, Vixen, Mr. Terrific (Michael Holt), Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Steel (John Henry Irons).
Too bad Marvel, along with many creators in the industry are incapable of writing quality escapist material any more.
Wish id been born in this era. I would have tooken the older girl to the comic shop then pizza.

When comics were for everyone and not just blue haired perverts and Social Justice Warriors
Uh, how many years of experience with comic books did you have? Because if you have read comic books for a long time then you would've known both DC and Marvel Comics would've put a lot of progressive social commentary and a lot of social justice stuff even back in the 60's and 70's.
Seriously, did you not understand X-Men's social commentary in the stories and the parallel between mutants and civil right movement? Oh, and I take it you never read Green Arrow/Green Lantern's Hard Traveling Heroes storyline where racism is talked about, and Green Arrow diving deep into social justice commentary.
agreed.
