Dang it, now where did I put the key to my time machine:cry:

Imagine the look on the face of the cashier when I come up and slap down on the counter the whole entire stack of 30 something copies each of the Captain America, Daring and Marvel Mysteries.   Might add to the shock when I hand the attendant a current dollar bill to pay for it all (keep the .10c tip wink).

Well just in case people didn't notice the photo location, if you were really there, you and your family would be locked up in an internment camp for a couple more years. :(

Wonderful stacks of comics though. I believe one kid in this pic was also seen in that other Tule Lake camp newsstand photo. It was in one of my posts on Japanese internment & comics.

I noticed.

Classic photo of comics centered in a depressing part of history...:sick:

Mixed feelings when I looked at it.

Well, at least those kids appeared to have some fun and enjoyment from the comics....even if it was only a brief escape from reality.

I love comics but I gotta say those GIs have their priorities all wrong.  Probably the only female to make an appearance on that ship and they're slobbering over funny books :screwy:

At least that guy in the background looks like he may thinking about more than comics...

I saw them years ago but my great uncle had some photos with Rick Durell in them. I think he and my great uncle crossed paths at comics hunting in the 1960’s although my great uncle was collecting comics long before Durell ever did.

Not sure who in the family has those photos today though.

I was actually referencing the " Readmore newsstand in Evansville Indiana was taken around July 1945" pic earlier back on page 86. 

But your point is well taken.
