Superman Is Weirdly Jealous of Gasoline In Bizarre 1946 Ads
By Chris Sims
When you get right down to it, superheroes make the perfect pitchmen. They’re trusted servants of the public good who are always on the side of goodness and morality, but they’re also wholly owned by corporations that are usually willing to use that fictional integrity to market pizzas or credit cards. That odd disconnect occasionally leads to some pretty weird stuff, and rarely are they weirder than in a series of ads from 1946 in which Superman endorsed Conoco’s N-Tane Gasoline.
Recently unearthed by artist Jon Morris at his Tumblr, the ads are weird not because of the product Superman is endorsing, but by the approach, which claims the gas is so good that Superman will be jealous of you for buying it. It’s… pretty weird.Check out these vintage Superman x Conoco’s N-Tane Gasoline ads on ComicsAlliance!

Best Art Ever (This Week) - Holiday Edition 2012
By Andy Khouri
We make a regular practice at ComicsAlliance of spotlighting particular artists or specific bodies of work, but because cartoonists, illustrators and their fans share countless numbers of great images on sites like Flickr, Tumblr, DeviantArt and seemingly infinite art blogs that we’ve created Best Art Ever (This Week), a weekly depository for just some of the pieces of especially compelling artwork that we come across in our regular travels across the Web. Some of it’s new, some of it’s old, some of it’s created by working professionals, some of it’s created by future stars, some of it’s created by talented fans, and some of it’s endearingly silly. All of it’s awesome.
