Disclose Notes: Dell Comics promotion for various prizes in exchange for a combination of money and the top cover strips from Dell Comics. The combinations vary by the nature and value of the prizes. Quote: "Cut off the top strip of each Dell Comic cover. Be sure the strip includes the name of the comic and the new Dell Comics seal. When you have enough cover strips for the item(s) you want, put them in an envelope together with the required amount of money and the coupon at the right."

Prizes displayed in the ad are: "Giant Space Map", "Kodak Brownie Bullet Camera", "Three Way Desk Set", "Magic Puzzle Kit", "Secret Pocket Wallet", "Shaggy Dog" (stuffed animal - not the Disney film version),
"Secret Seal Ring", "Baseball Glove", "Teenage Pocketbook", "Yogi Bear Vinyl Squeeze Toy", "Set of Six Lifelike Dolls", and "Initialed Slave Bracelet".

An illustration of a pair of scissors (apparently operating without the aid of human hands) is seen cutting-off the "Dell Comics top cover strip" of a copy of Bugs Bunny (Dell, 1952 Series) #77 (February-March 1961). The ad covers both middle pages of the centerfold.
