Superman in The Big Fall (Hostess Ads #45)

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: Superman in The Big Fall. There are no notes on the Hostess Superhero Advertisements page for this ad.

In this tale, Clark Kent spies an elevator cable about to snap. He changes to Superman, catches the elevator, and brings the kids to safety, using cupcakes to keep the kids calm.
