While catching up on my reading, I came across this full-page ad in a Marvel Comic dated November, 1979. The artwork (incidentally, done by Herb Trimpe) shows something that had never gotten my complete attention before, for some reason...here is a bigger look:
By sending in proofs of purchase from Shogun Warrior items, fans would receive this awesome 5" x 7" iron-on transfer, including Godzilla and Rodan! Which got me to thinking...did it exist? Did anyone ever order it? And if so, are there any unused, anywhere?!?! (This is an item that will have to be added to our Vintage Godzilla Guide for U.S. items, for sure.)
For those who weren't there, unlike today, where we just buy a T-shirt with anything we want on it, in the 1970's, you bought the IRON-ON and applied it to the T-shirt of your choice! The idea was the same, but you--or your mom--did all the work.
Wouldn't it have been awesome to walk around sporting that shirt, and be the coolest guy you knew?
Never let it be said that we don't take care of you around here. The image has been scanned at 600 dpi, and painstaking trimmed out of the ad, so all you have to do is add it on the website of your choice. Which is exactly what I am going to do! Enjoy!

PLEASE NOTE: T-shirt sites will often need a PNG of a certain size, which I have added to my Google Drive here.
