Monday PSA: The Magic Card
June 16th, 2008
Filed under: Comics
Although this public service ad was originally written in 1959, we can already see the formation of several of the various modern geek cliques: the modders, the cosplayers, and the copyright infringers. Little did Jack Schiff know how prescient he was being when he scripted this simple PSA about all the good stuff at your local library…
The art this time is by Bernard Baily, a frequent collaborator with Schiff on PSAs. This ad can be found in various DC comics from February 1959 as well as January 1966. I guess DC figured it was good enough for a second showing. This particular ad is from Adventure Comics #340 and was provided by H if The Comic Treadmill.

I’m afraid that the link isn’t working correctly.
I think you might have a typo, in the url.

Fixed. It was still displaying correctly in Firefox, so I missed it. Oops.

I work in a library, so I have nothing sarcastic to say about this PSA.
Please come back tomorrow for the regularly scheduled snark.
