The comics in the rack in the picture? What comics are they? What month and year is the pic from etc....

I bet people can identify some of them...

I think that might be Action Comics 18. (Nov 1939)

Seems likely. Cover date of the Look magazine is Feb 27, 1940.

For anyone pondering a take here, I spent a long time looking for my copy, and this is as nice as I've seen at a very reasonable price. Consider what it is -- an original Siegel/Shuster Superman story from early 1940 that involves Superman taking out Hitler and Stalin. In a sense, it's the first imaginary/What If style story, in that it answers the question of how Superman, if he existed in the real world, would address the war in Europe. I absolutely love this piece and think it's a still-underappreciated nugget.

This same copy sold on eBay this week and the listing displayed the same image that is the first picture here. 

I have couple of questions: Do you have the book in hand? And the pictures of the internal pages are of the same book in first picture?
