Here is a fun look at some quick scans of comic book ads from 1977 and 1979.

Clark Bars. 1979.
Yes, you can still find most of these Clark candy bar products.

Famous Sea-Monkeys Ad. 
The "Sea-Monkeys" probably would have been and interesting comic series or Saturday Morning Cartoon series.

Ad for the "Trixie Belden" Mystery Series.
