I have a copy of one of the issues on his desk -- it looks like Adventure Comics 128 behind the pen...

 

And that's All-Star Comics #40 bottom center. Looks like there's a second copy of Is This Tomorrow peeking out of the stack.

[markseifert]

That's Two-Gun Kid #1 from '48. A brand new book for him. One can only imagine what must be in all those stacks...

This kid could very well still be alive. Based on the photo, he'd be 75-76 years old.

The photos in this thread are awesome. Here's hoping for many more being added.

in the 2010 comic-con souvenir book, there is a picture of kids reading comics from a book

excerpt "75 years of DC comics: the Art of Modern Mythmaking" that is coming out

in the fall.

 

the boy is reading an action 62 in a manhattan nyc tenement lot in 1943.

i recognized this image since i have a lower resolution copy of this image from the

nyc municipal archives.

 

here is the uncropped image. the notes say this was taken in a manhattan tenement lot

bordering 1st & 2nd ave, between 17th & 18th street in 1943.
