I hope someone was reprimanded for spelling Spider-Man incorrectly.

Peter Parker the spy?

Yeah, it's weird but PP's outfit is actually the same pattern as the AJ Secret Agent but in different colors. They must have been improvising with this.,

Great ad! Love those memories.

I have that catalog! 1974 Montgomery Wards, right? Too cool.

That is insanely awesome. Lots of comic swipes. Robin and Penguin look like Irv Novick's work, Riddler is of course from the classic Infantino/Anderson poster series from the 60s. Joker looks like an early Bob Kane/Jerry Robinson swipe! Superman is a Curt Swan swipe, and Mxy looks to be by Kurt Schaffenberger (same artwork Mego used). Batman is a direct swipe from the cover of Batman #257 (July/Aug, 1974) by Nick Cardy. The Penugin swipe (and possibly Robin) may have come from this issue too.

I love how the artist did their best to draw Mego Catwoman!

That is so awesome!!! Love the SI's.

Brian,

Is there any knowledge that the SI prototypes exist with these outfits somewhere?

Looks like Clark is wearing the actual suit Bruce came with but with just a different colored tie,extra buttons and pockets.

Super cool ad and makes me wish they made other outfits for the SIs. Like how they did for AJ. Imagine how great that could have been!

I'm printing several copies of that and making Christmas wrapping paper.

Great images all around! I miss the 1970's Montgomery Wards. Our local one always had a great toy section.
