Terrific Ten II Comic Book Ad Paper Airplane

image

image

A vintage comic book ad, from the pages of Marvel Comics Group, Vault Of Evil, Feb, 1973. It’s an advertisement for a Saturday morning line-up of kids television, back when such things still mattered. Sometimes these old advertisements are fun to look at just to see what life was like not that long ago. They are a reminder of a simpler time.

I’m showing you the original artwork so that you get an idea of what I start with, but I only sell the folded paper airplane version.

I digitally fold these comics into paper airplanes, and they make for some pretty cool wall art.

This is “Appropriation Art”, or at least it’s my version of it. It’s a tribute to my youth, and the time I spent reading comic books. -YoPedro

This image is available on PIXELS or RedBubble as a print, or a whole slew of products, it boggles the mind. One of the greatest things about art these days is the ability to print it on so many different items. For an artist this is quite an exciting time, to know that buyers of art are willing to share artwork in such wonderful new ways.

If you would prefer a signed print, those are available too. -YoPedro

The Thing That Grew Paper Airplane

In most every comic book there is a front page, that lays out the story, and gets the ball rolling. It’s an overview of what the comic is going to be about, or at least the main story line. In this particular page there is a scientist, a gun, and a monster, so you know there is going to be some good action to come!

This is from the pages of Marvel Comics Group, Vault Of Evil, Feb, 1973.

I’m showing you the original artwork so that you get an idea of what I start with, but I only sell the folded paper airplane version. I digitally fold these comics into paper airplanes, so no harm ever comes to them and they make for some pretty cool wall art.

He-Man Body Ad

No comics were harmed in the making of this paper airplane. -The Management

So many temptations on this page of ads, from a He-Man body building with Charles Atlas, to an offer for a Pet Baby Raccoon! These were the clickbait of their era, and by all accounts, they worked! It’s actually a bit of fun to read through these and see what people were selling back in the day, and for just how little they were selling it for.

The page itself is from a vintage comic book, Marvel Comics Group, Vault Of Evil, Feb, 1973. I take these old pages and turn them into paper airplanes. It just seems like the sensible thing to do. I do all the folding digitally. I don’t actually harm the comics at all.

I’m showing you the unfolded original page of ads to give you an idea of what I start with, but I only sell the folded paper airplane version.

No Man Escapes Alive Paper Airplane

From the cover art of a comic book, I manage to fold a paper airplane and make it into art. Once you look a little closer at these illustrations, you start to see the work and fine detail in them. So often these artworks are limited to the collectors or worse yet, those who have them and forget about them.

I like to think I am preserving a bit of history here, making the most of the little patch of history I can touch on. You can see by the condition of the cover that I read this issue many times. I was never very good at collecting these, at least not from an investment perspective.

This particular cover is from the Silver Age of Comics, 1973. It has a werewolf illustration, so you know something exciting is about to happen! If you dig into these vintage comics, you start to find little treasures that are worth keeping. I have a bunch of these old comics, and this seemed like the best thing to do with them, because I can.
