    Heroes World Ad-Before Heros World!

    Confused? Saw this gem in one of my weekend pickups Brave & The Bold #132 cover dated Febraury 1977. Figured you would all enjoy it.
    A few things.

    1-This looks to be one of the earliest ads advertising the physical stores and it pre-dates The Heroes World name. They started out as "The Superhero Shops". I have other comics later on where they officially change the name to HW.

    2-The "new" store named in this ad, Livingston, NJ is the one I actually went to when I would visited my friend in the area.

    3-They are using mostly comic action heroes to advertise the 8" figures!

      Including the ugly WW. I remember this ad, but not for the figures. I always remember seeing the Super Hero Stamp Album and wondering what that looked like.
      It's all good!
