I could not find any list of covers for Thrilling Adventures from 1945, (just random covers in no special order) so I couldn't really compare.
I thought that magazine with the Co on the cover might have been Colliers, but they had a smaller logo in a box.

Thanks, I didn't actually feel like clicking through the issues to track down exactly which one it was lol :-\

The Colliers is October 3 http://www.amazon.com/Colliers-October-3-Mexicos-Communists-Farnsworth/dp/B008DS82RO
And the Famous Funnies is #27 Cover Oct 1936. You can see the guy's dark square shoulder, a blurry tree and a blurry speech bubble :)
O and behind is a Liberty Oct 3 with a cover ... um ... very much of its time!

I forgot about that website with the pulp covers. I was going by the spreadsheet floating around with the issues listed according to what's been scanned and it only shows a single issue for that series which I thought was weird because it ran for something like 15 years.

Mysteries ALWAYS need to be solved ... and only took about 10-15 minutes ... but then I went back to work out what the book in front of them all is ... white frame with a greyish interior rectangle and spent way too long and failed .... :(
Yoc:
Wonderful detective work Mark.
:)
SuperScrounge:
Good job, Mark!

The Grand Comics Database gallery feature shows 50 thumbnails to a page, so it's not like I was going through each issue.
Not a perfect system, obviously, as I dismissed #27 because I didn't see a circle around the 10 in the photo, but looking the bigger scan at the GCD I see it was a light blue circle - d'oh! Ah, well.
