Awesome! I wish I owned those beauties

Scans for both ads are available here:
http://www.vgmuseum.com/ads/tg16/

But I would certainly be interested in seeing much cleaner scans of these two ads. Fix that scanner

NOTE: How many folks here think that the Splatterhouse ad looks like it was drawn by the same fellow who did the Keith Courage comic? Anyone have any info on who made the Splatterhouse and Bonk comics?

The third ad, linked above, must be from a comic book as well, because I have yet to see it in a glossy multi-platform gaming magazine (not that I've done an exhaustive search, but I've looked through a lot of old mags over the past few months).

Help

I have a somewhat expensive issue of X-men that has the Bonk comic in it. I saw it not too long ago when reading through it. Unfortunately, it's on newsprint paper meaning it won't scan well.

Johnny Turbo is so hilarious, I love the comic series! By the time Johnny Turbo was out though, there wasn't much hope for the Turbo Duo launch series, so it didn't really matter. I'm glad they made it because even without it, the sales wouldn't really have been affected and the comics are so damn funny!
