1939 NEWSSTAND PIC TIME MACHINE JOURNEY INTO THE PAST

Fantastic Four 7

Oh dear God, there was a "Barbie and Ken" comic book?

That will send anyone screaming back into the arms of the Golden Age.

Someone saw the photo gallery on my website and emailed this pic to me. Looks like most of the books are from August and September, 1962.

You don't usually see Classics Illustrated along with the rest of the comics in these photos.

I don't ever remember seeing this one posted here. Note the boy has a remaindered copy of Batman 6.

Post deleted because jpepx78 was faster than me. By the time I researched the books, my post was unnecessary. Good job!

The only thing better than a pic of a vintage newsstand, is a pic of a vintage newsstand in color!

That color photo is awesome.

Yeah, it's an awesome picture. Saw it on Facebook and just had to share it

Yeah, cool...look at those dumb people buying newspapers instead of all those comics...

Haven't seen this one before:

In addition to the comics in the window, historically fascinating for the signage touting the availability of American comics, biggest selection in East London.

Found here, the twitterer says it's from 1952:

Cool photo, but it might be a little earlier than 1952. The Crime Patrol 12 was mid-1949 according to the GCD:

Even allowing for a lag for the comics to get to England, late 1949 seems a better bet.

AJD,

my guess is that their selection of comics is simply a stack of back issues that they resell so I wouldn't place a lot of stock on the date for that Crime Patrol.

Other issues that I could quickly identify are:

1) To the left of the Crime Patrol is Dale Evans # 14 ( http://www.comics.org/issue/8511/cover/4/ ), cover dated November - December 1950 and

2) right above the Crime Patrol is a Jungle Comics 133 ( http://www.comics.org/issue/8678/cover/4/ ) , cover dated January 1951.

So, 1952 could very well be true.

and the Superboy #7 is March 1950...(probably sold in January, 1950).

Before Oor Wullie for certain!
