Description
Maybe it is the most published piece of comic art, maybe it isn't, but everyone remembers the ad. I was finally able to track Russ Heath down for a commission and ,as I like to go off the beaten path a little, he readily agreed to update his iconic ad.

I wanted those darn things so much when I was a kid, and could never afford them- what an awesome idea for a commission, and Russ did a wonderful job in bringing it to life!!!

I remember trying to redraw this as a kid for a history report in grammar school on a big piece of oak tag paper. This brings back memories!

After all those times of looking at that great ad art when I was a kid, I thought you had a wonderful idea to have it recreated. Russ did an exceptional job!

Some ideas are so good, I wish I'd thought it up first.

What a great idea! I wonder who did the original. I loved that drawing back in the day.

Russ Heath is the original artist for this ad and the Revolutionary War one as well.

I'll take my Sea Monkeys against your Roman soldiers any day. Definitely a great addition to any collection. Congrats.
