Thanks guys!
That was fun...

Reminds me of 2019 when I did all those 'Historical Photos' with comics in them.
There was a 1962 Naked City episode with some very choice Marvel books in there shared at this link (second batch of pics):

By the way "The Naked City" is a pretty good noir film!!!
It is streaming on HBOmax right now.
You can also find just about ANY old black and white movie pre-1960 over on:
ok.ru
It is some sort of Russian facebook thing.
Here is a link to the movie.
