One of the most famous ad - the Roman Soldiers - was recreated by its artist, Russ Heath, and is on display in the CAF. Click to embiggen.

Thanks. I have seen that. I guess the original ad art is long gone.

I think this Miller Dr. Strange is my favorite house ad art.

Super cool. Didn't know Miller did that. Thanks.

Wow. What could have been. That project never actually happened. So, this may be the only published, official, Frank Miller Doctor Strange art in existence. 

Here's the story about why Miller's stint drawing the Master of the Mystic Arts never actually happened.

Miller could have done a great Strange.

Actually, Miller did pencil the cover to Doctor Strange #46, likely his only published DS work....but to me Miller's ad above is much more impressive.

Well, if we're including 'house ads' for comic properties, of course I'd nominate these...

 

 

..none of which I own, by the way.  Would love to change that!...

Here is one of the subscriptions adds I was talking about- Byrne alpha flight at its finest!

Miller also drew Doc in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #14, which was nicely inked by Tom Palmer.

I'd think that the OA work for the Spawn ad that appeared in Rust #1 and then became the cover of Spawn #2 might have a shot at the title of the OA Holy Grail for comic ads.

appreciate you posting that. and all the post. went to this dude's website and saw the SD Hulk #6 OA for 40k. This sounds kinda cheap. But I dunno OA.

Any of the Hulk Hostess fruit pies ads, especially one by Sal Buscema. I narrowly missed on an eBay auction years ago - been looking for 10 plus years

These Broderick MICRONAUTS ads are interesting, too... never ran across them as published (though the background on this scan is clearly old newsprint).  I have no idea whether they ran as one solid page, or went out separately.  Have never encountered the OA for them, either.

I remember that most as being on 1/4th Of the 35 cent price variant marvels. Nice piece.
