My daughters have taken over some of my ancient and ragged comics from the early seventies, and browsing one of the them I noticed an ad that fascinated me as a kid. 132 raging Romans, snarling at each other's throats, for only $1.98! Never did send away for them (by the time I rated an allowance my interests had moved on I guess. I would love to see what actually came in the mail. 132 pieces of something I guess.

$1.98 and it probably wasn’t even made in China … makes one wonder how “econonomics” worked backed in the 1970’s?
I love the fact the you could get 16 pieces of ammunition (harmless)…
I remember ordering a false 9mm pistol out of the back of a magazine or comic in the late 1970’s. Same such deal – how much fun you could get with your friends, etc. I seem to remember even sending a money order, including the extra for Canadian orders, but never, ever received anything in return. Anyway, wish I had kept the comics, like, you, especially for the ads.
