Dead Zone: an issue of Apache Kid

[Cat]

This is probably the best place for this? Interview with a comic shop owner from the 70's. It's a Reddit link, not sure how to rip their vids yet.

Ooh ooh,  I found one !!!  Sorry if it's already been mentioned in this thread.

While watching a utube live stream of Creature Features last week, (which comes on every Saturday night at 9:00 btw) I saw this scene and snapped a pic with my phone. 

The movie was called Uncanny

From Dennis the menace episode dated January 1961

The first one is Mr. Wilson holding it and all I know is there was a mention of "oh look, little Jack Horner" when Mrs. Wilson picked it up. Anyone identify?

[wardevil0]

is it possible those are just studio prop comics?  I've found reference to "Atomic Archie" in a Leave it to Beaver episode and a Dobie Gillis episode.

Apologies if already mentioned.

ASM 129 as a plot point from Coyote Ugly movie.

"Captain Marvel Jr." comic sighting at the 0:20 second point of this trailer for the new Elvis biopic co-starring Tom Hanks:

 

 

Not only is the cover of Captain Marvel Jr #2 prominently featured in the movie, Captain Marvel Jr is central to the movie as it is referenced throughout as a huge influence on the life of Elvis. There is more than just the one screen shot which features the comic, there are several scenes which talks about how Captain Marvel Jr impacted Elvis. Has there been any other movie made where a comic book character was so important to the main real life character of the movie? 

Cover in all it's glory!

Thanks to @Get Marwood & I for pointing me to this thread:

1) Car 54 Where Are You?  Dell Comic.  Oct 1962 / Featured in Peter Sellers comedy The Wrong Arm of the Law

I suspect this was an insert for US audiences of the British film. More info at http://superstuff73.blogspot.com/2022/08/comics-placement-in-movies-wrong-arm-of.html

2) A bunch of Alan Class Marvel reprints seen in Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy (1971). Visible to the naked eye we can see Harvey Comics, Alan Class reprints, Time magazine, Private Eye, Punch, and a wide variety of other British magazines of the day.

3)Take a look at this video from December 16th 1969, courtesy of BBC Archive. It's a clip from BBC Science magazine program Tomorrow's World featuring James Burke. Freeze the video around the 40-second mark and look at the new comics in the rack on the wall.  Takes you back, eh? I can make out both an ATOM and Captain Marvel.

Here's the link to the video https://twitter.com/BBCArchive/status/1074333330269704193

Awesome! It looks like it's The Atom #33 from November 1967, and Captain Marvel #8 from December 1968 

That might be a copy of Blackhawk at the bottom.

Last weeks Riverdale  was loaded  with comic books,  Really  this entire Final year/retroboot  is loaded with them.  From what I can tell  all of the characters  have a comicbook eel to their images.  Just look at Archies  skin and hair
