#13 - 1955-N.O. Drug Store Browsers
1. The date has to be wrong based on the comics I identified.
2. Drug Store Cowboys would more accurate because of the comics subject matter. ;)
I was only able to identify books on the bottom two rows.
Next to the bottom row
Gene Autry and Champion #110 (July-August 1956)
Roy Rogers and Trigger #105 (September 1956)
Bottom Row
Tales of the Mysterious Traveler #1 (August 1956)
Four Color #722 - Johnny Mack Brown (September 1956) – Maybe
Jace Pearson's Tales of the Texas Rangers #13 (September-November 1956)
Queen of the West Dale Evans #12 (July-September 1956) - Hard to tell, but the date fits and it's the only cover where the top is half dark & half light.
Yoc:
Thanks SS. The date was what Getty Images had for it on the site. Happy to add your new info to the cause.

SuperScrounge:
Sorry if it sounded like I was blaming you for the wrong date. Admittedly my comment wasn't as clear as I could have made it.
I did check Getty images to get a better view of the covers, and I think they had January 1955 which is just way off. Either someone at Getty wrote down the wrong date, or misread a date. I suppose if someone had handwritten Jun. 1956 it could be misread as Jan., and '55 for '56 could be a simple keyboard mistake.
