1975: DOC SAVAGE MOVIE ADVERT

Here's a half-page promotion for the UK release of George Pal's adaptation of DOC SAVAGE.  Note the ridiculously spaced release pattern: the Man of Bronze's fan in Darlington would have to wait until late October to see the film, months after the likes of Manchester and Liverpool.

Marvel attempted to cash-in on the film by running their altogether-better strip version of the pulp hero in THE SUPER-HEROES weekly.

The other half of the page is more winning entries in the Marvel/ Butlins joke competition.  Hold your sides...
6 August 1975
