#8 - 1954.03.22-Sleeping newsdealer by Vivian Maier
This one is by Vivian Maier (1926-2009). She was a street photographer who lived in New York City and Chicago and worked as a nanny.
She secretly took over 100,000 photos that were discovered hidden in storage lockers in 2007 when the lockers were auctioned off at a local thrift auction house on Chicago's Northwest side. There is some controversy over the handling and representation of her work and a legal battle over the ownership rights of the negatives among several collectors who bought her work. Presently John Maloof, a former Chicago real estate agent, accumulated about 90% of Maier's work which includes 100000 to 150000 negatives, thousands of prints, hundreds rolls of film, home movies and audio tape interviews. More info at this site:
http://www.findingvivianmaier.com/
One of her pictures that is of interest to me and some collectors here is of a sleepy New York City newsdealer in March 1954. Note the March 22 1954 issue of Time and Newsweek magazine and the Groucho Marx TV Guide cover.

SuperScrounge:
#6
Archie's unknown - Probably just another copy of Pals 'n' Gals #2. Archie's Girls Betty & Veronica, Archie's Pal Jughead and Archie's Rival Reggie all had the Archie's too small to be confused and Archie's Joke Book #1 (https://www.comics.org/issue/226133/cover/4/) laid out the heads above Archie's differently.
Binky unknown - No, it's not Leave It To Binky, the logo is wrong, it is Bingo The Monkey Doodle Boy #1 https://www.comics.org/issue/306490/cover/4/
Boy Loves Girl unknown - probably 38 https://www.comics.org/issue/266404/cover/4/
#10
Right row unknown - Real Screen Comics #101 https://www.comics.org/issue/75341/cover/4/

Thanks for finding these SS! James Reed on FB noticed a Jughead Annual #4 I missed in #10 as well.
Listings are updated.
:)
SuperScrounge:
A good spot online to check batches on a newsstand is Mike's Amazing World of Comics newsstand feature http://www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/newsstand.php
Since the books are likely to be from the same point in time if you find one book from say September 1946 you can go to that date to see what else matches and go back and forth a month or two to pick up any stragglers.
