What year do u think this b/w comic newsstand pic was taken?

Looks like Summer 1945 (Detective Comics #102, Witty #1, Spotlight #3 & others). There's still war covers but they're beginning to thin out.

Great stuff! It's funny (or sad I suppose, depending on how you look at it) how many of those non-Archie covers I can identify just from seeing the top inch or two.

That big stack of copies of Captain America #49 (Aug. '45) looks recently added to store inventory (street date June 15th)...

So my crystal ball is telling me that this photo was probably taken in mid to late June of '45.

PS: There's a stack of unsold Marvel Mystery #65 7/45 (street date May 9th) on the lower shelf, probably to be returned! :whatthe:

At least a copy ended up with me... lol
