    The Official World’s Greatest Super-Heroes



    This very rare leaflet from Canadian Mego distributor Parkdale Novelty just recently surfaced, showcasing the wonderful different 1975 assortments of World’s Greatest Superheroes. The true beauty of this ad is the multitude of different stock art that was used, as*many of these images were not used on any form of Mego packaging.

    Wow! A pic of the traditional Catwoman icon, in her purple dress & cape? That IS cool!

      That's tremendous.

      not just new/different stock art, but some of the assortments are unique.

      Your legacy continues to grow, Mr. Kotzer.

        I found a piece from 1977 that I'll reveal soon that totally explains why i didn't see or get certain heroes as a kid.

          That's really cool. Did Falcon have a bird friend? I never followed him very much.

            It appears Parkdale was diet-conscious: No fat-body foes?

                          Yeah, I definitely saw both of these portly gentlemen on Canadian store shelves, I distinctly remember buying a Joker and Mxy very soon after their debut (why I chose Mxy over the much cooler Riddler, you'd have to ask my six year old self about that one!)

                            Man, I love this. Love how the copyrights are mixed up too. You wouldn't see that now!

                              My guess is it had something to do with tv appearances. Hence why Flash and GL got the shift . But how did Conan make the cut?
