Here's another Frank Miller advance ad from early 1983, for his then-upcoming RONIN series for DC:

RONIN 1 was cover-dated July 1983. I was absolutely blown away by this first issue, and re-read it many times. Powerful stuff. I was amazed how something so good and truly innovative could have been such a slow seller. There was a revival of interest in RONIN after Miller's far more successful DARK KNIGHT RETURNS series, after which RONIN was re-released in several collected trade editions.
