1939 NEWSSTAND PIC TIME MACHINE JOURNEY INTO THE PAST 18 18

[kaylab]

Btw, no NM copies of Joe Palooka will come out of that newsstand

 

you know, the one consistent thing I've seen across a lot of the photos I've collected... I'm amazed any books sold at retail back then (newsstand, bookstore, tobacco shop, wherever) have survived in any condition above poor. Those books were picked through, read, shoved back onto the shelf/spinner and eventually bought and shoved into a back pocket or elsewhere, read over and over, and then eventually stored away. All the more reason to appreciate the collections that have come to light.

Has anyone posted this link yet? I'm way behind.

Here's an idea....push a couple chairs together, sit very uncomfortably on them, and strike a pose reading that new issue of FLASH COMICS.

 

 

"My reading comprehension improves when my spine is close to snapping"

[Scrooge]

This seems a heck of lot more confortable ... condition-wise the comic does suffer though (Pic dated 1964)

A little light reading with Junior -

States online this pic is from 1948 ... however, I must be tired since I can't place / find this comic-book in the GCD. Is this a foreign edition?

and last update for me today... Ending on a more solemn image. From Dec 8th, 1941, one day after Pearl Harbor. You can just make out the top edge of some comics, to the right of the lantern base (World's Finest is easiest to see)...

 

 

Very interesting and historic photograph there....

 

Here is the "bookend" to that one.....

 

May 7th, 1945

This seems a heck of lot more confortable ... condition-wise the comic does suffer though (Pic dated 1964)

No comics....but an impressive newsstand photo...very sharp...From July 1942

 

[ajaxfarrell]

Another excellent photograph of the July 1942 magazine covers.

Anyone unfamiliar with UNITED WE STAND magazine publishers PATRIOTIC FLAG COVER effort for this month....should click on that link.

Fascinating stuff.

 

I love the Veronica Lake cover. I have about 15 or so Veronica Lake covers.

 

[Scrooge]

Thanks for that one!! I am recreating that display but for March 1942. Still, the same titles were on the stand.

 

For example, here are my March Thrilling Mystery and March Super Science - They would go at bottom left and bottom right

[ft88]

I betting if you check comics from July 1942 you'll get flag covers as well.
