Some Classic 90s Comic Book Ads From X-Factor #87 Facsimile Edition [Preview]

Published Sat, 10 Aug 2019 13:30:54 -0500

Next week, Marvel Comics will release a facsimile edition of X-Factor #87, 1993's start to a bold new era of X-Factor following the X-Cutioner's Song crossover event, by Peter David and Joe Quesada. And while we appreciate the idea of facsimile editions in general, our favorite part is getting a good look at the old school comic book ads in their restored glory.

Like this one for Fleer Basketball cards. Remember, the 90s were the height of speculator mania, not just for comics, but for an endless array of collectible trading cards as well.

Oh, and yeah, there's comics too, starting with a little Ren and Stimpy homage…

As Rahne recounts her dreams in therapy.

And finally, back to the food stuff. An ad for the Super Nintendo game Chuck Rock.

More can be found when X-Factor #87 facsimile edition hits stores next Wednesday.
