No photo on the actual newsstand, but this copy of Tec 31 received two full date stamps in the white border of the logo - 85 years ago today - AUG 7, 1939 - at a Rexall Drug Store in Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦  

You can make out the drug store stamp underneath the castle. Here are some Rexall Drug store photos (don’t know the exact time periods), which make it fun imagining this book first being released and sold. And, remember, the OCT copies of Marvel Comics 1 would be released a few weeks later on AUG 31, 1939 @jpepx78 @BitterOldMan

Rexall Drugs was a great source of comics off the racks

It’s possible that the Tec 31 could still be available somewhere in this Medford Oregon newsstand from August 1939.

A bunch of pics in this post by Digital Comic Museum on Facebook.  Kids reading comics.  Don't forget to scroll through the pics - I think there's over 80 of them.
