Generations of comic book readers remember the tantalising promises of vintage novelty advertisements that offered authentic laser-guns, x-ray specs, and even seven-foot-tall monsters (with glow-in-the-dark eyes!).

But what would you really get if you entrusted your hard-earned pocket-money to the post office? Mail Order Mysteries answers this question, revealing the amazing truths (and agonising exaggerations) about the actual products marketed to children in the '60s, '70s, and '80s. Pop-culture historian Kirk Demarais shares his astonishing collection including: • 100 Toy Soldiers in a Footlocker • Count Dante's World's Deadliest Fighting Secrets • Hercules Wrist Band • Hypno-Coin • Life-sized Monster • Sea Monkeys • Soil from Dracula's Castle • Twelve Elephants in a Bean • Ventrilo: The Wonder Voice Thrower ...and many, many more! With more than 150 extraordinary, peculiar, and downright fraudulent collectables, Mail Order Mysteries is a must-have book for the legions of comic book fans.
