Pictures of old Comic stands
Drusilla lives!:
They've been rerunning that old 50s Superman TV show lately and I happened to just catch the last half of "The Birthday Letter" episode last weekend. There's a scene at the end where the little girl is reading a Superman comic in front of Superman. Didn't get a chance to snap a photo though.
Those first B&W episodes are pretty good by the way.

Hey gang,
I always enjoyed this topic. Here's a new one I've never seen and the incredible colouring job done by Avi A. Katz

I got the same email Yoc, very nice work done on that picture from 1942 and being B&W.

I received a link to that picture, as well.
Take a look on the lower left hand side. There is a floor rack with eight comics facing the camera. I recognized two of the partially visible covers. That included a Simon & Kirby Sandman cover on an issue of Adventure Comics.
I am fairly certain that at least six of those covers can be identified using the Grand Comics Database. One or more of them could already be available here at DCM. (Sorry, not the Sub-Mariner issue… ??? )

Hi Bob,
That link I shared shows how hard Ari worked at tracking down the books in the picture. It's truly a herculean job he's done on it.
