Not sure if this is a new shot, but I ran across this on eBay just now:

Cool pic. I spy a Showcase #1 both on the shelf and in the boy's hands. The girl looks to be reading the Betty and Veronica.

 

Little Archie 1, Mad 27 and Scrooge 13 round out some of the early issues besides the usual cool books. I don't see the Detective comics possibly 225?

Edit, I see it's issue 230.

I think cover date for Tec 225 was Nov '55?? if so this pic would be about 6 months later..

Would be a cool poster to have for $15, for your comic room.

If I remember correctly, that's a modern photo. The kids were dressed in 50s clothes and positioned in front of the comics.

[Rob]

That makes sense, as it comes signed by the photographers. I was thinking, "How did they find the photographers from 53 years ago?" Bummer.

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.

Mrs. Finch looks hammered.

Yes, it's a modern pic. IIRC, it was featured in an early issue of CBM. In fact, that's the synchronic collection that launched me into my own search for March 1952, some 7 years and 9 months ago ... and I'm still not done

I thought that WAS your collection.

Ok, this isn't that vintage, but it is cool to see Carradine and Hershey reading a Subby and ? Do you think Scorsese picked out the comics for them?

I have a nice b&w pic of a late 30's newstand in a book on the thirties. I'll have to scan and post it. It has comics, pulps, and magazines pictured.

We'd love to see it! (thumbs u

1942 Newsstand...too bad someone grayed out the comics.....jeez that sucks !!!!

[ajaxfarrell]

Here is a photo simply titled "comic artists at work"....it's a mystery to me.

[ajaxfarrell]

HEY THERE.....

check this out.

CAP #12.... 1942 + others

Probably ranks in the TOP 5 coolest newsstand pics I have found.

Mint copies of Mystic! Which issue is that?

Very cool.

 

That's Captain Marvel #7, I believe. Cap Marvel #7 according to GCD has a date of 2-6-42. The Mystic #8 is March 1942.

 

I think there is an Exciting Comics behind him - either #16 or #17. And the Crack is most likely #21?

 

 

 

 

[CAP Freak]

Looks like Exciting #17 and Crack #22.
