I’m not sure those are even real magazines or mock-ups.  (shrug)

 

I agree. I do believe these magazines are mock ups. The Newsweek appears to be a compilation of the Kennedy berliner speech and one of his memorial photos used in magazines. The Hot Rod magazine I could not find one to match and same goes for the Mad magazine and the Time with the Kennedy Cover ( found a few that were close , but not that image) .  I could be wrong , however after looking for all four of these and unable to locate any of them , I would agree that they are mock ups.

Interesting-- I only asked because I did not have the time to do any research. Not sure why they would go through the trouble of creating mock up fake issues-- other than not wanting to have to get approval/pay for copyrights to reuse images of the covers. That they seemed to coordinate some of the historical events around that time in the mock-ups shows some good work by the production staff. I guess they overlook the use of comic book images? I've seen them use real images plenty of times in other moves on comic book racks-- like shown earlier in this thread re: 11.22.63 which were clearly reproductions but of actual covers.

That is why i have said i could be wrong.  I did look to see if i could track down some of the magazines I was a little more familiar with and could mot find those covers. The stories , titles , and images all appear to be from roughly the correct time, I was just unable to locate thos exact issues/images. There were a few of the Time Kennedy issues and some has a close resemblance,  but not those exact images that I could locate. I would agree that it seems like more work, but maybe you are on to something with not having to pay for image use.

I watched the episode a few nights ago and froze that scene. I saw a Deathstroke: Terminator and what appear to be later period issues of Avengers and Amazing Spider-Man. They would not have been on the stand in the early 1960’s.

So much care was taken to have clothes, cars, furniture, everything else consistent with the time period but why not the comics and magazines?

I reported my findings to my infinitely patient wife (who is not a collector) and said that this is the kind of thing that we (collectors) scrutinize. I then tried to rationalize the errors by saying because the story is a work of fiction it exists in a parallel universe where Deathstroke: Terminator comics existed in the Silver Age.

Anyway, tonight I read this thread bump and showed it to my wife so I could say “See? I’m not the only one! This is what we do!”

As far back as The Lost Boys, where the  new kid in town shows off his knowledge of Silver Age comics to impress the other nerds at a comic store (and it was all wrong), I’ve pondered trying to get a job in Hollywood as a comic book chronological accuracy consultant. That would be a cool niche position in the TV and movie industry. Unfortunately I’ve been too much of a lazy slug to follow up on that. I don’t want any set decorators to get fired for putting the wrong comics out either. I’ll just take a deep breath and enjoy the show anyway. 🙂

I can't page all the way through that film/tv thread, but I'm going to assume it mentions how the entire plot of The Ice Storm hinges on the lead's interpretation of FF 141.
