1964 is right in the heart of DC's Silver Age which actually began a few years before Marvel's (like 1956 or so with the premiere of Barry Allen and/or Martian Manhunter compared to 1961 and the premiere of the FF)
@4:25 most Golden/Silver Age comic artists really wanted to be comic strip artists as this was the time when the strip artists were celebrities- that's where the high level of craft comes from

That makes sense.
When did those sorts of ads (novelties, True Grit, Daisy, Sea Monkeys, etc) completely disappear from comics? and why?
Good question Mac. Maybe the better business bureau shut them down . It needs a documentary. Hmmmm.
