1939 NEWSSTAND PIC TIME MACHINE JOURNEY INTO THE PAST 18 18

Earliest picture I’ve seen of an Action Comics issue on the stands, along with two other Fred Guardineer DC issues (January 1939, St. Louis).

I’d take a couple of those DCs and a copy of Thrilling Mystery please...

[Electricmastro]

Also, that mostly hidden issue of Star Comics, I think, is most likely Star Comics #v2#1:

I think those prices applied to the books at the top of the rack above the comics ('Baby Is One', 'How to Sleep', etc.).  I doubt comic books were generically referred to as "Books" in 1946.  Looks like the store just used most of this rack for comics instead of the books it was intended for.  And with good reason!  I like to imagine that Marvel Family, or National Comics or Marvel Mystery Comics were better sellers than "Now We Are Seven"! 

good point. I did not think of that.

I think I might have a few of these books.

Looks like a Police Comics 59, Modern Comics 54, amongst others.....I guess that store was charging 13 cents per comic instead of 10 cents? Or 2 for 25c. wow, big profit margin.

No wonder the rack is full

Lots of good stuff on the stands that month.

I'd take a slice of pie for 15 cents and a banana split for 30 cents for starters

Late 1939/early 1940 photo showing Whiz Comics #2 at the Great Lakes Newsstand at the corner of E 105th Street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio.

Great pic ... identify any other books on the stands below the Whiz 2? I think that's a Smash Comics 6 to the left of the arrow ...

Post-Edit: Looks like many of them were already identified back on pg.93 of this thread! Oh well, I'll keep the arrow pic here anyway!

But more than cover would be price gouging. Besides, how many people would pay it?

I've been doing this for many, many, many years... I feel like such a dope now!

Not golden age, but it's a newsstand. That's Mad #121, so it's 1968.

Nice photo. Mad 121 had a publishing date of Sept 1968, so judging by the books it’s likely late June/early July 1968.

Man, think of all the great vinyl on the racks in that record store across the street!
