Would you happen to have an updated screenshot? Its not visible anymore 

I saw that episode more than once but I always missed the beginning where I guess they showed the book. Yeah the lady kept mentioning "first edition spider-man" or something to that effect. 

The screenshot by @kav on page 4 from "naked city" is stunning  

If dem boys only knew the fortunes they had behind them! These high quality super man screenshots from the 50's are eye candy 

Sorry I am not on the boards much anymore.  I don't have what I originally posted but I went to dailymotion to watch the episode and did a quick capture of the books.  They are inverted because that is the way it shows when playing.

1930s news stand from the documentary about Huey Long in Ken Burns "America" - season1, ep 4- (53 1/2 minutes in)

Some comics in the trailer that Brad Pitt's character lives in behind the Van Nuys Drive In theater in the movie Once Upon a TIme In Hollywood

I think that is Kid Colt outlaw #134 and not sure of the Sgt Fury issue

From the Shawshank Redemption around the 1:07:30 running time. The guard goes to "pinch one off" and grabs a copy of Jughead. Careful owners of this issue-- you may have a flagged book!

I think that's Sgt. Fury #66.

from the Tracy Morgan show "The last OG" season 3 episode 8-- though I think this is a made up book (didn't look for it) because the "superhero" (Black Bobcat) is said to sleep 20 hours a day and be able to hear noises in pornos (supersonic porno powers). I don't know-- it is part of the show. The other odd part is he is seeing this book at a traditional NYC news stand.

[01TheDude]

oh--- and there is some art where his mom's boyfriend painted a version of the Black Bobcat as Tracy Morgan's character. Got me thinking harder about it--- could not find anything about this character at all so must just be for the show. But those other books look real-- can anyone identify them? Also-- can you still buy comic books on a new stand in NYC?

Any ideas what the other book Richard Gere is holding behind the Silver Surfer 1? That's definitely not the back over to the SS 1 

 I believe it's a D.C. Comic from February 1973. I've found it on:

Detective 432

Superman 261

Hoyse of Secrets 105

And which Frazetta book is that on the rack alongside the SF mags? I don't believe it's one of the 5 book series due to the font size and positioning of the text on the word "THE"

In the Lost Boys, they walk through a dimly-lit but well-stocked comic store. Good luck identifying them all

Yeah who knows.  I do see a Man-Thing #1

Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying-the book in the pic, the back cover, is a different book than the silver surfer that you see the front cover of.

The comment asking about the book on the racks.  Not sure how we’d know a common book by back cover unless by a reflection in the reader’s eye(or parabolic mirror or such).
