NBC Advert in DC Comic

Over here in Germany a new DC comic series has just started which appeared in the US last year. It features the character called Flash who can run very fast. I remembered that I had the original US issue of Secret Origins which tells the story of how Barry Allen became the character called Flash. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I glanced through the issue & on the centrespread there's an advert for the 1986-1987 NBC Saturday Morning Schedule which I thought I'd share with you. If I come across any more I shall post them here. I had to scan it in in 2 parts & merge them together so it's not perfect. I've tried to get it as clear as possible but as the forum only allows 120kb max size it's impossible.

If anyone would like a high resolution copy then just pm me with your email address.

It appeared in ''Secret Origins' issue 9 from December 1986.

Love the advert :D

If you want to you can send me a higher resolution one..I can download it to our Photobucket account and link it that way (as I am doing with other pictures). This way, we are not limited to the size restraints :winks:

Aha, that's better. Thanks Maureen :D

I scanned it using the lowest resolution possible but whenever I tried to reduce the size it just went blurry :???:

The speech bubble coming out of the telephone is funny :)
