I stumbled on its large high res version and we can stop squinting and look at those books easily in the shot below. Creating it, I realized that I have a copy of the Amazing Stories right above the comics -

The LIFE magazine is from Nov 14th 1938. Cover model is Brenda Frazier.

 

Whooopee!

But it pretty much pinpoints as to when the photo was taken....

I recognize Hedy DeVine #30 from December 1948 so the issue of Pep at the bottom may be #69 or 71. Of course there's Airboy, Super Duck, Vicky, and several other known titles. Too bad the photo isn't that detailed.

 

Looks like a limited selection of comics.

This pic has probably been posted in the past but I found it in a 1983 media mag.

After looking at that picture, I can better understand why some people were getting a little worried about comics in the early 1950s.

There's a whole lot of wholesome reading in there somewhere.

I think Seven Dead Men says it all.
