Found this Pinterest page with a lot of comic book newsstand pics that maybe haven't been shown here before.

Definitely a nice site.
I have to hand it to you if you've read all these - some of them look great, but some look a bit sluggish. Covers are all nice, though!

Have you noticed the paperback thread? It's always on page one, very active.
Maybe people are just getting tired of golden age comics.

My first comic was read at a Toronto barbershop (also my first Playboy). My father would take me weekly starting in 1967.

Hi everyone,
I have a large lot of Prince Valiant Sunday strips (nearly 400 pages, tabs and halves, 1943-1956) for sale on eBay.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Here's a pretty interesting Bloomberg article (and video) from 2019 about the company. This is before they were doing comics, just classic cars - but it does answer a lot of the points people have brought up here. The fact they're still in business today and branching out into other collectibles is interesting.
As Bloomberg points out, the target investors are certainly Millennials (not grumpy 50-year-old collectors like us ).

Rally Rd. is a new service that lets people invest in expensive classic cars.
Could it work for comics?
Well, apparently, it did.

And there's the Encyclopedia Brown comic strip, which ran as a daily and Sunday from 1978-1980.
It's just what you're looking for, including the upside-down answer in the last panel of the Sunday strips.

That's a lot of great books. Aces!

This should be a poll. Worst or best time. But I really can't imagine anyone voting for "best"!

Ads I always was confused by were all the ads in 40s and 50s funny animal comics aimed at adult women. Funny animal and humor comics of that era are full of ads for tummy flatteners, dresses, nylons, skin creams etc. I guess they were thinking mom might see them when she was cleaning up juniors room.

Does anyone know if Heritage requires a minimum value for a consignment? I seem to remember them mentioning $5,000 minimum at one point.

Another killer cover - and Fritz Leiber.
You're all Alone is my absolute favourite Fritz Leiber - it's so bizarre and creepy. Though I read it in the 1972 Ace paperback.

I did another search and the picture is from a bookstore on Markham St in Toronto Canada around 1974.

I'm guessing it's Memory Lane?
