Favourite Hostess Ads

Always thought Hulk should have shilled for baked beans. Marvel always had him eating them in the 1970s.

You know,I never understood how The Hulk never blew up half of the US with the fart he would have let off from all of those beans.

Interesting trivia...

Character from a Hostess ad that made it into actual continuity...
Which character from Hostess Fruit Pie ads made it into comic book canon?

Courtesy of Kurt Busiek of course. The original ad was drawn by Frank Miller.

Even though he debuted in 1979, Icemaster was totally unused until Kurt Busiek resurrected the character in Thunderbolts 20 years later. After staying out of the limelight for another 12 years, Icemaster made an appearance in Fear Itself: The Home Front #2. In a story by Christos Gage and Mike Mayhew, Icemaster is one of the heroes who pounds the tar out of Speedball. Even after all these years, he still loves his baked goods. Icemaster, you've officially arrived.
