During the 1970's & 80's DC Comics used to have these advertisements for Hostess Twinkies, Cupcakes, & Fruit Pies that looked just like a comic book page. It was a very clever marketing campaign where different comic book characters would hock their products. Here's an example of one where The Joker does a sale pitch for Hostess Fruit Pies. Remember these? They're pretty funny & I used to love reading them as a teen. If you click on the picture above it's larger & more readable, enjoy.

Hey there, thought you might be interested in The Collector's Weekly comics page, they showcase batman comics as well as many others, http://www.collectorsweekly.com/category/comics/batman.php
Enjoy,

Thanx Maribeth,
I've been there before & it is pretty cool! I think they should list the bat-Blog there!!
Of course the Joker refused the Hostess pies. As a true clown and connoisseur of classic slapstick comedy, he prefers cream pies. All the better for tossing into faces!
