Disclose Notes: Gold Key Comics house ad. The covers of Mickey Mouse (Western, 1962 Series) #93, Donald Duck (Western, 1962 Series) #100, Tom and Jerry (Western, 1962 Series) #231, Bugs Bunny (Western, 1962 Series) #106, Woody Woodpecker (Western, 1962 Series) #78, The Flintstones (Western, 1962 Series) #19, and Little Lulu (Western, 1962 Series) #168 are reproduced.

Oddly, none of the covers reproduced are contemporary with the year 1968. The cover date for each one pictured falls between 1963 and 1966, placing them as 2-5 years old at the time of this ad’s publication.

On final interior page of the comic.
