Need some help with some Sega ads

Post by Jimmy Yakapucci »

I am sure that everyone is aware of the shall we say, suggestive, advertisements for Sega products. See below:

What I am looking for is a citation of when/where these appeared. I need the magazine name, date, and if possible the page number. I need this information for an essay that I am writing. Thanks in advance.

They reportedly were never released, and there are no Copyright or Trademark symbols near the product nor the name brand SEGA. Not saying they don't exist, just saying they probably weren't made by Sega.

A poster here recently made a thread about these ads in a few comics he'd bought off of ebay, had pics too.

The second ad you're showing is definitely in those pics, so you might ask him.

After I posted this, I saw that thread and sent him a message. Thanks.

I didn't believe these were real until I saw they were advertised in Viz. That seems about par for the course.

Note that those are British ads, at least the examples provided.
