Sweet book! Don't see these floating around too often!

Sensational.. love this

This was a really cool custom vintage themed news stand created last year that I actually got to see in person. It was created as part of the exhibition install for the 80 years of Marvel exhibition, in Melbourne Australia. Love the old newspapers in the meshed framing. Reminds me of something you would almost see in an old Superman or Spiderman movie

Oh man, that link is great - I actually hadn't come across it - this will be a big help! Thank you!

Yes 100% right! Majority of comic stores back in those years seem to have primarily been corner stores or curb side magazine / newspaper shops that just happened to sell comics. I think i'll definitely need the artist to do a bit of a modern rendition of what a vintage inspired comic store would look like in today's world. So more of an updated, over-the-top Las Vegas inspired signage, but on more of a traditional Heritage building that you would find in New York for example. And then just use old poster etc to make it feel as if we're back in the early 50's.. Thanks for the photos! One thing I have been picking up from some of these older photos is the mesh-like wire (as seen in your photo in front of the Coca-Cola / Drugs signage - definitely something I think I should have him integrate).

Thank you mate, this is awesome!

Was such a let down when they talked up the GTA history (was so certain a new GTA was about to be announced) - And then they just announced that they were continuing to work with GTA 5 haha..

Oh sweet, that's awesome. Yeh the attention to detail with these are amazing.. and thanks man

Hey guys, I'm wanting to get a custom mini store built by an artist that I follow for my Birthday this year, and wanting to re-create a vintage comic shop from the early days. It doesn't have to be super accurate, as I don't think the perfect shop really existed back in those days, so will be more of an artist rendition - however, I need to gather as many reference photos as possible so that he can create something as accurate as possible for the era. The main things I want to focus on is the building architecture, 3D signage (although I don't imagine many if any stores back then had this, but inspo from other retailers could still work), vintage comic ads, wall graffiti, sales signs and general advertising signs for things like milk / cigarettes / cigars / ice cream, etc.. Here are some reference photos that the artist has made to give you an idea of what I'm dealing with as far as attention to detail goes. He's amazing.. I personally love the Discolandia signage, so that's probably the direction I want to go for this. But maybe doing more of a corner block store? Hoping to have it finished up around September for my bday, so hopefully can share some photo's of the final build with everyone around then. Anyways, any inspo photo's you guys have, please send this way! All the help much appreciated

Beautiful book mate. I've got a Marvel Mystery Comics 58 low grade (CGC 1.0) up for grabs. Presents more like a 3.0 too, so nice eye appeal. Shoot us a dm if that book is something of interest - I'd be happy to throw a couple hundred dollars in with it, or some other books too.

That Daring 5 cover is a beauty!
