next photo, date 1939

 

 

Well, there is something that says "Action" (and then perhaps Comics below it) right smack dab in the middle of the photo.

and finally, a small newsstand... now that I look at this again, i think there may be a few comics tucked into the bottom row of books (maybe Fight Comics and Jungle Comics?)

Has anyone posted this one?

 

[Scrooge]

Has anyone posted this one?

 

Yes this was posted before as was the 1939 one. I have a blown-up version of the 1939 one hanging in my office. There's a very high resolution version of it out there.

I've seen some of those....GREAT PICS !!!

I like the guys buying the cigars.

There is a More Fun and a Zip down there by their feet.

 

The 1939 newsstand pic exists also as a HUGE detailed blow-up.

wouldn't it have been a wonderful time to live back then... I know some of our boardies like Ponseti and such were dropping their dimes back in the 40's...but for us younger folks, we can only dream what it was like

anybody see this ebay photo item?

 

 

Old Photo-Women/magazine rack 1941

if not, maybe we could email the winner and ask him for a higher res scan of the pic.

Looks like it's on a comic rack. I think there's an Action Comics placard in front of the #39.

 

Pep #18 is also pictured.

We have a picture here at work taken back in the 40's. It's a shot of what was at that time our gift shop (I work in a hospital) In the photo, there can be clearly seen a copy of Flash comics and maybe a couple other books.

 

I'm not sure how I would even go about getting a copy to post here.
