Captain America and the Time Warp! (Hostess Ads #19)
| 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 Time Warp! As noted on the Hostess Superhero Advertisements page:
Due to a time flux, Julius Caesar and his Roman legion appear in modern times, where they snack on Hostess Twinkies left by a picnicking family. Captain America, under orders from Nick Fury, gets Caesar to agree to be sent back to his rightful place by SHIELD.
