House Ads
The Daily Planet House Ads were a series of house ads that ran in the back pages of DC comics from 1976-1981. The ads were styled in the form of one-sheet newspaper pages with headlines, stories, and features. Over the years, several popular features emerged including Bob Rozakis’s Answer Man column and Fred Hembeck’s gag strips.
