This little card thing was nestled in the pages of Marvel UK's Secret Wars comic #1. I seem to recall it was included with a few, if not all the Marvel publications that month. The reverse is blank/grey.

A-Team mini comics from Shreddies
These were free inside boxes of Shreddies circa 1985 I believe (I think the 1983 on the comics is just related to copyright). I have three out of the four here.

UK Marvel ads
I found a pile of Marvel UK Transformers comics circa late 80s, and scanned a bunch of the ads off the back covers.
Elektra Assassin
Elektra: Assassin promotional poster thing by Bill Sienkiewicz, I think this was advertising the final issue of the 1986 mini series.

Lucky Seven
I no longer have a VHS recorder to view this film (it's usually floating around on Youtube anyway), so thought I should scan the cover before I get rid of it. When I found it in a charity shop many years ago, the names of the characters on the cover prompted an instant purchase (although some names are different in the film itself). It's actually a great film, although the exploitation seemed quite real in places, where the kids are kicked about and thrown around like rag dolls. Hey, great acting with that crying! Is that acting? I love the fight scene where inexplicably the soundtrack uses John Carpenter's 'Halloween' for no reason.
More booklets from toys
I have had these buried in a folder for years, and finally got round to scanning them in. Transformers, Centurions, Thundercats and Micronauts. The Thundercats one is just a really long strip so I chopped it up in Photoshop. I really like those Centurions, such a substantial size for an action figure.
MOTU poster
I believe this was included free inside a few of the UK comics back in the 80s. It may also have been included in some of the toys, but I don't remember. Click for bigger version.
