1939 NEWSSTAND PIC TIME MACHINE JOURNEY INTO THE PAST 18 18

Wow, I wonder where in the Philippines that took place... My dad used to collect comics, but he told me they were thrown out by his mother!?!?! It would be a trip if he was in that pic

 

I'm going to the Phillipines next month searching for a couple of grails.

 

I hope there are in better condition than those books in that picture were though.

 

And if you see any vintage Homer Simpson mask, take a picture

Oh cool, have you ever been there before? What grails are you searcing for there? There's a few comic shops around there, but rarely did I see any GA or SA books. Good luck with the hunt!

[Blind Owl]

not going to look for comics (just kidding about that)....but hey...you never know....might find something anyway....

[Jayman]

Man! All they would have to do is read the comic book and find out who he is!

 

Love the Batman #66s in the second pic!

Lois and the Man Of Steel himself...!!

 

 

 

 

That's not the man of steel - it's some guy with glasses.

[nearmint]

You're right. That guy appears way too mild-mannered to be Superman.

[Aman619]

funny you guys say that stuff. growing up with Reeves performance, I see that suit and his casual pose AS Supes himself! Its ingrained in my brain. Even when Reeves shows up in other films he seems too cool and relaxed like he knows hes got superpowers.

How hard can it be trying to pick up a girl at a comic book stand?

Not exactly a newsstand pic, but comics-reading in the media.

 

This is from a 1960 issue of "TV Radio Mirror" -- Dee Finch from WNEW

in New York. He and his radio partner, Gene Kalvan, are dubbed "Masters of the Mad Lib" in the mag. A condescending "even Superman" (127) comment, isn't it?

 

 

Mrs. Finch looks to me kind of pizzed off about the whole thing.

Looks like Superman 101 from 1955 and Batman 95.

[VintageComics]

Thought this was cool. From an Ebay auction. Actress Jane Withers reading Whiz Comics 2.

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks Roy. The funny bit for me is that we just watched Jane Withers last night as the bitterly annoying bratty girl in Bright Eyes with Shirley Temple.

[MrBedrock]

bitterly annoying bratty girl

[BlowUpTheMoon]

Not a very good source, I'm afraid. They're also representing our very own blowupthemoon's mock-up of the OA for the cover of Action #1 as the real deal.

 

That's Flee's creation.

Absolutely correct. Thanks, BangZoom.

Don't know if anyone caught this. I wanted to bid on this Ebay auction and somehow missed out. How friggin cool is this picture? A bunch of Timely guys in a real photo!

 

I would have loved to have bid and won!
