Captain America and the Sore Sir's Apprentices (Hostess Ads #16)

No Caption Provided
On a site dedicated to making a wiki history of all things comics, comics ads should not be forgotten. Especially the ads for Hostess Fruit Pies, Twinkies, and other snacks. Starting in 1975, Marvel and DC heroes (and the Harvey characters!) spent seven years throwing Hostess snacks at a bizarre line of villains to stop their crimes. Although many of the villains were completely silly, they were created specifically for these ads, and in many cases, not even the names have been used again, since the ads stopped in mid-1982.

So I thought I'd show an ad here, and make a list of the comics I find it in, as I run across them. This list features: Captain America and the Sore Sir's Apprentices. As noted on the Hostess Superhero Advertisements page:

The unseen wizard Sore Sir sent these monsters up against Captain America. Durable, strong, and capable of multiplying, the Apprentices renounced the wizard for Hostess Cupcakes.

"Sore Sir?" Bwah-ha-ha-ha-haaa! "Sor-cer-[er]'s Apprentice!" I love wordplay!
