Shinders, 8th St & Hennepin Ave, Mpls, MN, 1964

Shinders, downtown location was in existence 1916 to about 1997 or so.
It was the go to place, for any printed material. A big, big comic section with old comics up on the wall.
I once got a Journey Into Mystery 84 for a couple bucks there in the 1980's, quite a deal! Then I lost it on the city bus some time later!


Yours,
B.

Nice finds, Geo.

Just look at the comics above the dealer's head above the caption "Store/news stand in the 1940's"

The first issue of World's Best(Finest) Comics, followed by Superman, Action Comics, All-Star Comics, Master Comics with both Bulletman & Bulletgirl on the cover. (That should be easy to identify.) Not to mention an early Blue Beetle issue.

Somebody, please, loan me a vintage dollar bill, and a time machine!

[Yoc]

Most of Geo's newest batch I've called 'Classics' and will be sharing with full annotations of what is in them as well as some more alternate pics for the Pop's Bailey newsstand.

Here's my contribution...

[Yoc]

Thanks GM, that Bogart one (talk about reading a super obscure comics!) I shared not long ago in the Famous Faces topic and I'm pretty sure the first one is from a Japanese internment camp set I shared but I forget which section it would be in here.

Take care,
-Yoc

[The Ghost Man]

Hi Yoc, sorry for any duplications. I'll try and be more diligent in scouting the forum first to avoid it in the future.

[Yoc]

No problem at all GM, I've shared so many now I'm not always sure which I have and have not shared sometimes.
