Rather than using photos, mail order outfit Heroes World hired Joe Kubert's School of Comic Book art to illustrate its wares comic book style, in a comic-size format.
The art is by Kubert, his staff and students.
The result is a unique look at superhero merchandising of the 1970s. I remember owning some of this stuff, and wanting even more of it!
These scans come from the 1979 catalog, which I purchased on eBay a few years back.

The Heroes World Catalog was fun, thanks.
