Scrooge Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Here is a really tough one...try to find the comics: Don't know where the comics are but this photo was taken sometime in early 1941. The Lone Eagle pulp ran from Sept 1933 to June 1941 while Exciting Love's first issue appeared in Winter 1941 so this puts the picture around January 1941.

Larryw7 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 August 1958 Wow, this one really can give some perspective on grading older books. Most of those wouldn't even make a 6.0, and that's fresh off the newstand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowzilla Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Another great one from the site Ashrael pointed out with Detective #24, Action #9, Adventure #35, and a Funny Picture Stories v3/2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norinn Radd Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Wow, this one really can give some perspective on grading older books. Most of those wouldn't even make a 6.0, and that's fresh off the newstand! Great thread. It really puts things into context to see GA comics on the rack. They really were treated just like any other periodical sitting on the newstand. It's like seeing a painting of someone using the ark of the covenant as a footrest.

BangZoom Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Thanks, Flee. I think that's the first time I've seen a Bugs Bunny comic in one of these old photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ft88 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I went to the York Heritage Library and looked up old photos today of the city of York. There were about 4 out of 1500 that showed anything of interest. Only 2 of which could I really see old comics or magazines. One was from 1935 but the mags were pretty grainy and hard to make out. It didn't look there were any comics either, just Detective and Western Pulps. The better one was from 1955 with 3 racks of comics but you could really only see the titles. What was interesting was one of the 3 racks was of Classics Illustrated only. Anyway, To get the photo scanned at a high level dpi would cost $20 per photo so I haven't thrown down the coin yet. Especially since you really couldn't see the covers in full. If I saw a picture like those in this thread I probably would. Titles included. Girls of Romance Our Fighting Forces Katy Keene Jimmy Olsen Daredevil (GA) Jughead Heckel and Jeckel (A Harvey book Hury or Huny?) but no real superhero or horror books. Anyway, it was a fun memory lane and I highly recommend going to that part of your library if you ever have the chance. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajaxfarrell Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 FOUND THIS....it's kind of dark but you can make out ACTION 19, cover dated DEC 1939... NEED HELP with the others...looks like maybe a SILVER STREAK # 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedude Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I believe that's an Action #21 instead of #19. but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nearmint Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Alton is correct. The Action is #21, and the Silver Streak is #2. Counting from the left, the 6th book over is Flash Comics #2. Great pic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangZoom Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think the third comic from the right is Comics on Parade #22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCMiles Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Based on the cover dates, I think the first one on the right could be a Mystery Men #7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primetime Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Alton is correct. The Action is #21, and the Silver Streak is #2. Counting from the left, the 6th book over is Flash Comics #2. Great pic! I concur. Circa February 1940. I don't see a More Fun 52... Edited April 30, 2008 by Primetime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
