see if you can find any pics of SA Marvels from 61-64 Jeff would be cool to see an FF 1 or Hulk 1 on a rack...

I was talking to an old timer at the NYCC who mentioned something I thought was really interesting.

He said that in the city Nedors were not available at the regular street newstands but were available at the newstands in the train stations. He said that he always had to hike to the train station to pick up Black Terror and such.

He said there were other publishers that were the same but he couldn't remember which. He did say that DC and Timely were widely available.

So maybe this is a photo in one of the train stations?

That's very interesting. Perhaps Nedors weren't available at newsstands in the bay area of California either, and that's why they're absent from the Reilly pedigree.

Cool story....it must have been neat talking to someone who picked up comics when they were just comics.

It sounds like someone had it set up so that NEDOR had to work a bit harder to sell their product in NYC. I wonder what the story on that was ?
