after finding my first comic, today !!
i had a flick through and came across those 'Hostess' cupcake adverts !!
i remember that they always seemed to feature: SUPERMAN, BATMAN, WONDER WOMAN, FLASH, GREEN LANTERN etc !!
i wondering, does anyone remember any with the LEGION OF SUPER HEROES ??

wasn't there a FLASH one, with a rollercoaster that's falling apart !!?? that one seems to stick in my mind !!
the one in this issue of WONDER WOMAN features the Sable Lady !! with BATMAN & ROBIN trying to stop the furs from being stolen !! a pretty camp advert !!

I remember one where Batman foiled the Joker with the help of some Hostess product (I want to say fruit pies) and in the last panel the Joker expressed his dislike for the yummy snacks. Someone wrote into the Answer Man (tying this in with the other thread  ), asking it it was true that the Joker did not like the Hostess product in question. Rozakis' reply was: "Well, he is crazy!" 
The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

Drake's Ad is Awesome...  I was thinking about these ads just the other day because I was given a free copy of Ferro City (by Jason Armstrong, Image) at the comic shop signing and it had a Hostess Homerun Pie ad featuring Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon. Ferro City was pretty cool too, much better than Armstrong's legion work.

The only consistent feature of all of your dissatisfying relationships is you.
Don't judge me!
