From the UCLA Library online photo collection:

 

"COMIC BOOK HEAVEN-Rick Durell, El Segundo, left, operator of a gasoline station, and Burt Blum, manager of Cherokee Book Shop, 6607 Hollywood Blvd., look over comic books in store, largest center for them in the country. Publication: Los Angeles Times, Publication date: June 7, 1965"

 

Check out the comics that are laying on the table! :o

 

I see an Action #1, Detective #27, Whiz #2, Superman #1, Captain America #1, Batman #1, and maybe a Special Edition Comics #1 too.

 

MY SOUL FOR A TIME MACHINE!

One heck of a collection of Big Little Books too.

I do appreciate the random major keys just happen to be spread out on that table. (And to heck with Martin Milner's hair. I'd take Tiny Tim's at this point.)

I think Cherokee book store was the book store that had the comics upstairs.

I used to go there when i was a kid in the 70`s but they were too pricey for me so i would go to bonds street books across the street and dig through tons of twenty five cent (maybe less)boxes.

There were i think atleast three book stores that had comic sections on hollywood blvd.back then, another one was Pickwick books.

I think the book store in "the howling" was cherokee books down stairs area.

I know it was one of the bookshops i went to on hollywood.

That is a VERY COOL picture...I don't recall ever being aware of it and I lived in the South Bay (Torrance/Redondo Beach) at the time...we did make forays to the book stores on Hollywood Blvd though circa 1974-76 or so...really takes me back...had the foresight to at least know that I wanted a collection I would keep but didn't have the foresight to nab up the ones that would turn into 6-figure books...I was more like kingofwhales looking for 20 books for $20 dollars rather than drop $20 dollars on a single book, like ASM #1 for example which couldof been had in spades... :tonofbricks:
