Sure would be fun to go through those stacks just to see what all is there.

 

 

They all look well read...who would want 1,000's of well read Golden Age books (shrug)

You laugh, but if those were all X-Force or Youngblood, we'd be giving those old pepper pots medals of honor.

 

If only :(

let's take the wayback machine to texas, the lone star state. there is a fascinating photo essay of the spanish-speaking people of texas here. these images were taken by russell lee between april & july 1949 in corpus christi, san angelo, san antonio & el paso. here's the comic-related images...

 

here's a san antonio shoe shine stand where all the comics seem to be romance comics. this image seems to show the beginning of the romance comics phase since there are several number one issues. i see my love affair 1, lovers 25, my confession 7, love tales 38, first love illustrated 4, modern love 1?, woman in love 1, real west romances 2? & romantic secrets ? i'm sure someone will identify the others.

another image.

the kid is reading funny animals 62 at a corpus christi stand. i see police 91, amazing mysteries 33, wanted 20, boy 46, black cat western 17, smash 83, babe ruth sports 2, superboy 2, modern 86, a date with judy 11 & georgie 23. there's a few more that i'm sure our resident experts will be able to identify.

what happens in louisville kentucky stays in louisville unless someone takes a picture. man is reading deputy dawg four color 1238 and looks like a CARtoon magazine at his feet at a wild surfa shield corporation sales meeting (nov 4 1964) where guys dress in drag and drink beer (budweiser).
