I found this pic in Reminisce Magazine and thought I would share it.Man,cool stuff.You can only make out a few titles but just look at the sheer amount! Not to mention the pulps & other cool mage.Enjoy!

Cool! I love stuff like this. It's what drove me into collecting golden age, especially WWII era comics. It's a joy to hold a comic in my hand and think about what part of history it survived, and what was going on in the world while it sat on a comic rack.

If Toz doesn't mind, I've got a bunch of these kind of pics...I love em' too.

[toz1960]

DT,that's cool.Let's see more!!!!!!!

[disneyteddies]

I don't have time right now..gotta get to work but I'll post a bunch more over the next day or two.

Looks like a MAMBLA orientation pamphlet.

Those are probably the exact guys who spinerolled about half of my GA comics. Little creeps.

[Capitalrecoveryman]

Hell mal, I thought the guy in the last pic WAS you...just kidding, just kidding.

[jnine]

Those are amazing pictures. Thanks for sharing them.

[malaprop]

Well I did look pretty cool in those days.

[disneyteddies]

Here's some more for now.

[disneyteddies]

Here's some more as promised. Hope you don't mind me hogging your thread Toz. I was going to start one for this myself but you opened the door first.





























I actually have some of these 3d ones. Here they are.

I know too well the look on that little boy's face as he puts his comics into the recycling bin/trash/what-have-you.

[toz1960]

Go for it Hank.I posted the only one I had & I'm glad someone else had some nostalgia to share.

3rd picture in post #11, is that Boris Karloff? And if it is, is that from a movie, or perhaps some magazine article/interview since the comics are horror books?

[disneyteddies]

The truck pic is...."SHUDDER"....a book burning...

That is Boris himself showing "I assume" a grand daughter.

More in awhile fellas.

Did you find the Marvel Comics #1 in there somewhere folks??

[disneyteddies]

I found more info on the Boris Karloff picture.

If it is to be believed this is from the little girl in the picture with him.

"Hi! I just came across this blog... I am the little girl in the photo. I am Lynne White from Seattle. I lived in the Malibu Colony when I was little. The photo is taken when I was 5. My good friends father was a photographer and they needed a little girl to pose. It was taken at the Malibu Colony Drug store which is no longer around and has been replaced by a high end mall. I was looking for this photo because my 40th year High School reunion is coming up and someone asked me about it."

Pretty cool to have a follow up explanation decades later.

[disneyteddies]

Here's the rest of the old comic pictures I have at the moment. Hope everyone's enjoyed them like I have.

From the movie "The Naked City"



And ironically, the Penguin before he was the Penguin...but what's that in the background??? Is it a bird?? Or a plane??.....

















Comic books...half off!!

[disneyteddies]

LoL! I just noticed 8 pictures up there's a World's Best #1 CLOTHESPINNED to the string hanging above the shopkeepers head. GASP!

[define999]

Some of these arnt from the golden age but they are old, and they are comic racks...... Found these recently.....

[toz1960]

More cool pics define,#woohoo#

The 3rd & 4th pics are,I assume,from and early comic book store?More pics like these would be great to see too.

[yarmak]

great photos guys but for the life of me I cannot see any weird tales - to have a time machine to go back and be able to collect and read them :)
Bugger the future value of these I reckon it would just be cool to own and read them :)
