1973 Marvel Comics Survey

[VintageMike]

While there are some "standards" as far as old comic ads go this was a new and interesting one for me. Marvel wanted their readers to fill out a survey in 1973 and what a snapshot of the time. In the "where did you get this comic" "comic shop" isn't even a an option and the "free time" question for example show how much things have changed.

I remember one that actually asked if readers wanted to read stories about black people.

If I'm not mistaken, it was actually included in one of the Comic Book Urban Legends articles.
